about

This song was created out of two ideas, the first being the intro, 'A Proper Introduction' followed by the song which draws inspiration from Ray Bradbury.

lyrics

Dandelion wine come on pass it around
Cobblestones small sleepy towns
Everybody's moving from the front to the back
But I just feel like I'm last

Dandelion wine come on pass it around
Fahrenheit flames are burning the ground
Everybody's moving from the back to the front
But I just feel like I'm stuck

But we could be free
If we truly wanted to be
We could be free
If we truly wanted to be yeah

Dandelion wine come on pass it around
Soft rains cover the ground
Everybody's moving from the left to the right
But I just don't feel right

But we could be free
if we truly wanted to be
We could be free
If we truly wanted to be yeah

Don't let yourself grow too old
Let the wind be your breath
'Cause by the time your realize that you are alive inside
Death is sitting on your front step
Never stop to look behind at the mess you might have made
'Cause as you stand off to the side to catch your breath you realize
Someone else just won your race
Won your race
