[00:00.00]Stories That Get Told - Josh Pyke
[00:02.39] 
[00:11.03]I should see you walk in from our garden
[00:15.83]The sun a soporific on your shoulder blades
[00:20.95]And you should kick your shoes off at the door
[00:24.12]And mark me with the pollen on your fingertips
[00:27.12] 
[00:30.85]Instead December brought the pouring rain
[00:36.00]The whimsy of the season
[00:39.10]Dampened by the day
[00:41.11]And sometimes changes is incremental
[00:43.65]To the point we can convince ourselves
[00:46.53]We're still the same
[00:47.72] 
[00:50.89]But as the street lights flicker on
[00:56.00]Under skin and bone
[00:57.61]We're all awash
[00:58.92]With something borrowed
[01:00.92]And everything I want
[01:02.55]Is at rest between these walls
[01:05.30] 
[01:07.75]Someday we'll all be
[01:12.66]Stories that get told
[01:17.84]But told incorrectly
[01:22.70]But our trail won't grow cold
[01:27.65]Our trail won't grow
[01:32.77]Our trail won't grow cold  cold
[01:45.69] 
[01:48.44]So now we watch you walking in our garden
[01:53.42]And what a many splendoured sight you are to see
[01:58.53]And there'll be dancing  there'll be scars
[02:01.17]But you're my garden
[02:02.53]You're my garden
[02:03.78]You were grown from me
[02:05.22] 
[02:08.28]So when you leap
[02:09.46]You must leap longingly
[02:13.45]And leap across
[02:14.39]The length and breadth
[02:16.32]Of legacy
[02:18.44]For in this garden
[02:19.88]We will write for you
[02:21.43]A story you will learn by heart
[02:23.92]Then long to leave
[02:25.24] 
[02:28.53]And as the street lights flicker on
[02:33.53]Under skin and bone
[02:35.09]We're all awash
[02:36.45]With something borrowed
[02:38.45]And everything I want
[02:40.03]Is at rest between these walls
[02:42.89] 
[02:45.26]Someday we'll all be
[02:50.18]Stories that get told
[02:55.26]But told incorrectly
[03:00.02]But our trail won't grow cold
[03:05.25]Our trail won't grow
[03:10.29]Our trail won't grow cold  cold
[03:21.90]
