lyrics

picking lavender from the bushes
picking thorns out of your long stemmed roses
parking the truck on the cliff
looking at the ocean from the palisades precipice
celebrate the harvest moon at it's highest

after the storm let's hit the corner store
laugh a little more and pass out on the floor
watching the fireworks laying on the tennis courts
through the chain link fence diamonds by the millions
looks like the fingers of god in a sea of stars

we'll have this one moment and that'll be enough for me
if we can return whenever we please

this is the ferry ride of my life
a one of one glimpse no one's money could buy
the horizon is infinite the same color shared by
the water underneath, the grayish blue of the sky
clouds parted ways so that the sun rays could land on our faces

the moment that we held hands and then slow danced
on the observation deck, through the fog and the mist
the beauty in chance is that it cant happen again
but when it comes to you and i it just might

and when that happens i won't be surprised
once in a lifetime for our entire lives
