LYRICS:
I went down an old path, all the way back
in the late summer long grass
You, in the sunset - made you a silhouette
light-leaks and vignettes in a field I cannot forget
I felt it with my bare feet, I felt it in my soles
running tree, running to you, back-lit on the mower
you turn to wave me over
sunlight in my eyes, and a wall of grass on either side
I see you laughing, but all I hear is the engine
You made a maze but I'm small
and I can only see the walls
and little gnats and bits of grass
floating upwards in your path
a golden snowfall in reverse
You made a labyrinth in the weeds, a labyrinth in the weeds
My speckled legs collected dew
just trying to keep up with you
and years after we left that place
I'm older but I feel the same
Just running through a bigger maze
catching glimpses of your face
always turning round the bend
in and out of sight again
And this new kind of hide-and-seek
feels more like a tragedy
grow my soul, grow it tall
I'll see over all these winding walls
and laugh with you from way up there
at a path that don't go anywhere
in all our pointless glory
in our never-ending story
You made a labyrinth out of me, a labyrinth out of me
