July
by The Innocence Mission

Album: Birds of My Neighborhood

This barren July
We both wake up so dry
That no more tears can leave us.
And all we've found
Are roads we can't go down,
Eyes on a day we can't see.
I hope it comes.
I hope that water comes
And drenches us in our clothes.
The world at night
Has seen the greatest light.
Too much light to deny.

You never know,
You never really know.
And you can't have people figured out.
One friend came in
Out of nowhere, with lit
Sparklers in both her hands for me,
And saved the day
When I had run away
To envy and black feelings.
And the world at night
Could see the greatest light.
Too much light to deny.

July, July,
The man I love and I
Will lift our heads together.
July, July,
I've seen the greatest light.
To much light to deny.
