I Was a Daughter

If you call tomorrow I will dream I was a daughter

Weavin through these brand-new silver streams

Turned into dusty roads that we both wandered on

We prayed to perfect Avalon

We wished for anyone to take us home

If you want to build this house with me

Oh what a story

This is how they'll all remember me

We were the lucky ones that would survive the flood

With potted flowers in our blood

Pretendin' that we don't know where we bleed

All the pretty fall

We fell asleep but we couldn't hear their little words

We swam in the rivers, sang with the birds

Gave away our hearts before we knew what they were

What a pretty fall

(don't sing too loud, they are asleep)

Didn't even know

(don't sing too loud, they are still dreaming)

We sang out with the birds

(don't sing too loud, they are asleep)

Gave away our hearts before we knew what they were

(don't sing too loud, they are asleep)

What they were

Oh what they were
