lyrics

When the daylight runs short
And the hours crawl by,
And the midwinter moon rises high,
As I lay down beside you,
With the world on my mind
I dream of the Fourth of July

The sun on my skin
And the wind at my back
And your body close against mine
It feels like forever since the world felt alright
Like it did on the Fourth of July

I remember that night
By the light of the stars
We danced and we laughed til we cried
We talked long with friends
Til our glasses were dry
Sipping slow on the Fourth of July

But the sweet summer breeze
Seems a tale we forgot
And each morning I wake with a sigh
From a dream I keep having
Of an eagle in flight
By the river on the Fourth of July

The cold’s as forgiving
As the blade of a knife
Some days I feel barely alive
But as long as you’re with me
I’ll try and get by
And get back to the Fourth of July

The sun on my skin,
The wind at my back,
Your body close against mine
It feels like forever since the world felt alright
Like it did on the Fourth of July

It feels like forever since the world felt alright
