Jesca Hoop Song For A Bygone Era Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It could have been any other three
Time was on our side then
This time either side of the sliding door
His was always open

[Pre-Chorus]
Now I know how it feels to miss the train
And we can never come home again
Home again
No, I did not feel the desert then
'Cause he was always making rain

[Verse 2]
It could have been any other three
For an accidental family
Till I heard a guitar laugh, saw a raccoon cap
Come shuffling down the driveway

[Pre-Chorus]
Now I knew by the time my first song ended
That we'd befriend and be befriended
Home again
Each of us, our disbelief suspended
Till he said

[Chorus]
It sounds like a record
Of kids in the backyard
Climbing down the dark ladder
Playing, singing, capturing
A song that made the world A touch more beautiful
Sounds like a record
Of tears and laughter
And friends on a learning curve
Their one devotion
To a song that made the world
A touch more beautiful
Sounds like a record
Sounds like a record
Sounds like a record
Sounds like a record

[Bridge]
Just as every stone rolls through night
We roll to a new day
Just as every yearling flew the coup
We all hit the highway
A-la da-da-da
A-la da-da-da
A-la da-da-da
A-la da-da-da
I'll know
A-la da-da-da
A-la da-da-da
A-la da-da-da
A-la da-da-da
I don't I know the

[Outro]
Kinder side of time gave me your name
Don't I know time holds the reins
I know it well
Enough to tell
How lucky my aim
If just for that spell to have landed in your frame
