Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Ooh, hot sand on toes, cold sand in sleeping bags

I've come to know that memories

Were the best things you ever had

The summer shone, beat down on bony backs

So far from home where the ocean stood

Down dust and pine cone tracks

[Verse 2]

We slept like dogs down by the fire side

Awoke to the fog where all around us

The bloom of summertime

[Verse 3]

We stood

Steady as the stars in the woods

So happy-hearted

And the warmth rang true inside these bones

As the old pine fell we sang

[Verse 4]

Just to bless the morning

[Verse 5]

Ooh, hot sand on toes, cold sand in sleeping bags

I've come to know the friends around you

Are all you'll always have

Smoke in my lungs, the echoed stone

Careless and young, free as the birds that fly

With weightless souls

[Verse 6]

We stood

Steady as the stars in the woods

So happy-hearted

And the warmth rang true inside these bones

We stood

Steady as the stars in the woods

So happy-hearted

And the warmth rang true inside these bones

As the old pine fell we sang

[Verse 7]

Just to bless the morning

[Verse 8]

And we grow, grow, steady as the morning

Yeah, we grow, grow, older still

We grow, grow, happy as a new dawn

We grow, grow, older still

We grow, grow, steady as the flowers

Yeah, we grow, grow, older still

We grow, grow, happy as a new dawn

We grow, grow, older still
