a day in July, she asks for advice
maybe she should run and hide
she’s looking at you, hoping you’re true
hanging on strings she stays
It’s harder and harder to leave
as the August sun shines through the trees
you’re being brave, as she shies away
you’ll follow wherever she leads you
cherishing June, cherishing you
friends becoming lovers
the sun awakes, and she watches your gaze
you travel through the waters
September repairs all wounds
shattered glass on the floor has been swept out the room
you’d hoped all this time that you’d make it through
you both see in colour
in a hospital gown and woollen socks
she knew she was in love
as snow fell she knew it well
it wasn’t ’til May that she told you
cherishing June, cherishing you
friends becoming lovers
the sun awakes, and she watches your gaze
you travel through the waters
though April brought no rain
the things that it grew were the most beautiful
good things for those who wait
you stayed through the seasons of wealth and of pain
cherishing June, cherishing you
friends becoming lovers
the sun awakes, she watches your gaze
you travel through the waters
cherishing June, cherishing you
friends becoming lovers
the sun awakes, and she watches your gaze
you travel through the waters
you travel through the waters
together you travel the waters
