lyrics

When you were young the sun was the father
The sphere was the son
The intervening space was the holiest of ghosts
You had your formulas all figured
and your love on your arm
You had three days of sunshine with three more to follow
You got old and measured shadows
and talked to the walls
You paid your rent by reading soldiers their horoscopes
If I’m to die in battle, Johnny, leave that part out
Tell me three days of sunshine with three more to follow
Johnny, our love is motion
and it’s as big as the sky
Though the math might take a little while to get right
I will meet you by and by
So, Johnny, wake up and tell me
about those harmonies you found
Good lord, I’ve gotta know
Why we’ve got three days of sunshine
with three more to follow
