Song For a Bygone Era by Jesca Hoop 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
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
