Belle & Sebastian

Like a fresh manifestation of an old phenomenon
A breeze whips through the trees
The rustling leaves and branches bend together
theyââ?¬â?¢re cued to sway
forever by the forces of the Lordââ?¬â?¢s choreography

Just for a second the combination of sights, sounds
around him
sends him hurtling back to the mirror of all of his teenager thoughts and fears
He passes big houses and family cars
they saddled the horses in cobblestone yards
He catches the moon looking down from the stars
Just like itââ?¬â?¢s done for years and years

Perpetual feeling in the grown up world thatââ?¬â?¢s all
around him
that thereââ?¬â?¢s secrets that could be revealed with knowledge and philosophy
And ââ?¬Å?Oh to be dumb, Oh to be smartââ?¬
He might be nursing a broken heart
but feeling this way heââ?¬â?¢s just playing a part
thatââ?¬â?¢s been around for centuries

I wandered all night, I wondered all night about you
Iââ?¬â?¢ve been here for years just wandering around the neighbourhood.
