Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The only way to hold on to this love
Is with an open hand
You told me that the first day we met
I didn't understand
[Verse 2]
Beneath the broad-beamed boughs, your love changed
A slow comin' apart
You moved on and I stayed the same
I was trailin' from the start
[Verse 3]
We laid long in the tall grass
We loved for the joy of love itself
We threw our pennies in the fountain
Wished for nothing else
Wished for nothing else
[Verse 4]
Through the crossbeams, whispers were heard
Undoin' in every line
And in the fall you flew, little bird
You got out just in time
[Verse 5]
We laid long in the tall grass
We loved for the joy of love itself
We threw our pennies in the fountain
Wished for nothing else
We wished for nothing else
[Verse 6]
We laid long in the tall grass
We loved for the joy of love itself
We threw our pennies in the fountain
We wished for nothing else
Wished for nothing else
