Have you ever been shown
About the way things work
Where the wild birch grows
And the shapes that it makes
When it grows up
And it floats out of window
Did you say your farewells?
Could it be best and worst
At similar times
Your breath has never been heavy
No, your breath has never been heavy
I don't know what it meant
Now I know what it feels like

You were right in your own way
You were right all along
You were right in your own way
You were right all along

Walk right in
Stay ages
Walk right out
And it feels like you have to
Mellow by mellow
Whisper by whisper
Could it be that the afternoon
Felt quite lone?
Could it be that the afternoon
Is the best part of the day?

You were right in your own way
You were right all along
You were right in your own way
You were right all along

Hope I will
Lose no days to this
Save for a while
Days that I can't miss
Hope I will
Lose no days to this
Save for a while
Days that I can't miss
And the way you face the evening
And the way you carried it
