The Barr Brothers Alta Falls song lyrics

1) On The Second Day of june.

beNeath, an 'aLmost cresceNt moon -

'We played /eChoes\ . with thE fireflies'.

you were aLmost, Seventeen.

on, the bright-side of a 'dReam -

bLowing kisses .to the paper'boy.

aNd the ribbons, tHat we drew .

-on Magnolia 'Avenue . was September

'before they all washed away.

we weRe dabbLing iN the daRk .

- gettting lOst in /echoe\ park .

'heard

the 'elujahs ... on the radio.

at the tolliNg of a' bell -

\rays'/ of sUnlight 'moRning fell.

cLouds cast' a shadow .

-on the fields below.

*\/* ** all my words come tumbLing down-

like Violets' in your pearls or, maybe- it's just this kind'of -wrEcK.

'thAt gOes diviNg foR the pearls /tell all my' -sheeples'- and /chains'\

come-on that i'm a- weLded to tHe worLd...

was there soul,{salt?} long a-go. **

2) with my nickels in the sand, holding water in my hand.

it's apparent beneath the .(++++"+++). sweet.

you were running with balloons'.

and' .some were yellow and' some were -blue.

tapping +//////+ and you let' them go.

but \eye/ wanted- to 'convey-

that it was,. more thAn i' cAn -say.

was how' BeautifuL, that i' thought' that it was.

'you were aLmost seventeen, on tHe bright side of a 'DReam. Blowing Kisses -to the paperboy.

** aLL my words come tumbLing down-Like Violets in your pearls **

Oh, maYbe its just this kind'of man-

That goes diving for the pearL' .

teLL aLL my \shacKles'and'chains/ -'come-off'

im 'a' dEviL .to the world

aLL my Leaves come apart- and break down and it'

-happens for the birds-

maybe- its just this kind 'of -man that

goes diving -FOr the' pearl.

tell all my 'wheels and 'peeps. /come'off\ .

that im Rebel. to the world.

'* was there soul .long a-go.*'

*was there . .soul -long ago.*
