lyrics

If the light don't wanna come out in the day time maybe it will sparkle at night
The moon been fussin at te stars all week say I really need to rise with the sky
And if the flowers wanna grow where they never grew before
and if the trees need a break from the breeze
The season and the summer been laughin all week
I don't think them people can take the heat

Bridge
Quiet goes silent when the light turn red
Ms. Harper downstairs told the story again
And then the sun found a reason to run

Chorus
But lord what brought down all the trees in Eleanor
