lyrics

There are fresh vegetables,
tomatoes and beans
for sale at my farm-
and you can buy them,
if you please.

But no,
I didn't grow them,
it's the men that work here
that do.Their shovels
turn the cold earth,
while me I just go to school.

And I climbed a mountain
in the morning of today.
And some friends came along
for company, the sunlight
danced a parade.
It was more than ok
So much more than ok.

O, light does flow
along film, exposed.
The camera shows
how the story goes.
And it goes and it goes...

In here, there's a photograph
of a girl who broke my heart.
It happened only yesterday,
the picture I took at the start
in cold weather,
wearing my sweater
she is outside on the oak tree swing
frowning at the camera
like it's a devil's tool, or something-

I didn't understand.
When have I ever understood?
I'm starting to suspect
that I never understood.

O, but light,
light does flow
Along film exposed.
The camera shows
how the story goes.
And it goes and it goes...

All to be put in a book,
in a box,
in the corner of the closet where
no one will ever, ever see
except maybe me.
