Summer's golden, goodbye smile
Pull over and watch a while
Reach for words to pin it down
As the evening slips on its gown
It's all so much larger than life
Here in my own private paradise
On the fading light of day
Silhouettes and shadowplay
Spring comes, eventually
Sits right down beside me
Reach for something, you don't know what
No doctor can tell you what you've got
Drawing on what you already know
A parade of loss that comes and goes
It's all so much larger than life
Here in your own private paradise
Going on your merry way
In the rearview mirror you look one day
To see it rushing by like a stream
Across the stones and into dreams
With stars tossed across the night
And we look up, in mid-flight
Just think how lucky we are
That it stretches so wide and far
It's all so much larger than life
Here in our own private paradise
