Lyrics
He Smiles
Sunset on the lake, water's lapping low
Dragonfly zips by, water bugs skim low
First mosquito of the night comes to sample my blood
Rolling hills on the other side fit together like hand and glove
And the light looks all pinks and purples and blues
And this night has way more beauty than I can use
And a bird flies out from the trees by the water
It's not true, but I think he smiles, and I do too
The shining towers of noon become the temples of night
Their bruised and wine-dark bodies turned away from the marbled light
They went inside to eat and drink and fight and play
I will not hear their laughter or their cries until another day
And the light looks all pinks and purples and blues
And this night has way more beauty than I can use
And a bird flies out from the trees by the water
It's not true, but I think he smiles, and I do too
There's even more flora and fauna inside the main house
I'm out on the dock escaping, 'cause the kids get kinda loud
For them it's all so new, a series of delights
But if you watch the colors, you can see they're almost overripe
And the light looks all pinks and purples and blues
And this night has way more beauty than I can use
And a bird flies out from the trees by the water
It's not true, but I think he smiles, and I do too
