Days Of Wonder — The Wallflowers

Cherry picking through the stars And falling cannonballs Waiting for the break of dawn To start its morning crawl Polluted rays of filtered light Tropical and warm Making shadows through The snow white resin covered skulls

Happy birthday to the war

Caravanning on the moonlit Locust covered trail We came out like a stream of bats Exploding from the well Slipping through the whirlpools Of trees and floating cars Behind winter coated mule Down record breaking falls

Into olblivions open jaws

Standing by the wall A rainbow made of stars Under seven difference shades of grey Spreading out across the arc Days of wonder spent Out there killing time Now this may not leave a mark on me But I sure as hell was there
