lyrics

In the beginning, everything was there
A girl with brown eyes and a boy with long hair
And secrets in treetops that no one would share

There were no gardens, and there were no graves
Just two children running through badlands and caves
Taking for granted what nobody gave

In the beginning, there was no love
Just two people living, whatever that’s called
Like insects that make their whole lives on one wall

There was no envy, there was no disease
But she grew weary of living with ease
And took consolation in whispering trees

He followed her out in the cool of the day
He saw her talking but what did she say
And why did she stand in the grass where they lay

And so he learned that the world wasn’t kind
He moved to a room in the back of his mind
And told her to walk a few paces behind
