Lyrics
Junebug (junebug)
Firefly (firefly)
Lightning bolt (lightning bolt)
By and by (by and by)
'Round the world ('round the world)
900 days (900 days)
Full of wonder (full of wonder)
Full of pain (full of pain)

Full of ocean (full of ocean)
Full of sky (full of sky)
Full of mountains (full of mountains)
In the by and by (in the by and by)
Collecting jasmine (collecting jasmine)
And Christmas cactus (Christmas cactus)
Southern magnolias (southern magnolias)
And grass in baskets (grass in baskets)

Well, back in town (well, back in town)
No one's around (no one's around)
As this planet Earth (as this planet Earth)
Spins 'round and 'round (spins 'round and 'round)
Am I out to pasture (am I out to pasture)
Or up in the castle? (Or up in the castle?)
Or am I singing songs (or am I singing songs)
Down in the chapel (down in the chapel)
With the choir (with the choir)
Or with the band? (With the band?)
Or am I all alone (am I all alone)
With my folded hands? (With my folded hands?)

I'm up early (I'm up early)
Every morning (every morning)
Trying to capture (trying to capture)
Morning's glory (morning's glory)
To bottle lightning (to bottle lightning)
Or bottle storms (or bottle storms)
Or bottle nightmares (or bottle nightmares)
From the night before (from the night before)

In the afterglow (the afterglow)
Of the evening (of the evening)
When there was no God (when there was no God)
To believe in (to believe in)

While chasing dragons (chasing dragons)
And chasing demons (and chasing demons)
Trying to slay them (trying to slay them)
Trying to free them (trying to free them)
Well, midnight (midnight)
2 a.m. (2 a.m.)
Sunrise (sunrise)
I best be leaving (I best be leaving)

The birds chirp (the birds chirp)
Yeah, the birds flirt (the birds flirt)
As they bring in (as they bring in)
The new season (the new season)

Well, I'm chasing money (I'm chasing money)
And chasing rain (and chasing rain)
Chasing the clock (chasing the clock)
Chasing my pain (chasing my pain)
My air is heavy (my air is heavy)
And so I wait (and so I wait)
For my dark clouds (my dark clouds)
To illuminate (to illuminate)
In the green belt (in the green belt)

It's just how it felt
Oh, to be a child, and, oh, to be alive
And, oh, it makes you wonder
And, oh, it makes you smile
And oh, makes you sad
And, oh, it makes you cry

To let the light in (to let the light in)
Another morning (another morning)
Invite the mighty (invite the mighty)
Morning glory (morning glory)
Another day (another day)
Above the dirt (above the dirt)
Farming songs (farming songs)
On this planet Earth (on this planet Earth)
