Songtext von Fourth Of July

Trembling, starry-eyed As you put your hand in mine It was twilight, on the Fourth of July Sparkling colors were strewn across the sky And we sat close enough that we just barely touched While Roman candles went soarin' over us, and baby Then you put your hand in mine, and we wandered away (away) I was trembling inside But I wanted to stay (stay), pressed against you there And leave the world behind, on that Fourth of July (Oh-oh-oh) So starry-eyed (so starry-eyed), on the flowery hillside Breathless and fervid amid the dandelions As it swept over me (swept over me), like the wind through the trees I felt you sigh with a sweet intensity, and baby Then you put your hand in mine (you put your hand in mine) And we floated away (away, yeah) Delicately lay entwined, in an intimate daze (in an intimate daze) A crescent Moon began to shine (a crescent Moon began to shine) And I wanted to stay (stay), tangled-up with you, among the fireflies On that Fourth of July (Ah-ah-ah, ah-eh-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah) Thunder clouds (thunder clouds) hung around (hung around) So threateningly (so threateningly) Ominously hovering The sky opened wide, showering (oh, oh, oh, yeah-eh, yeah-eh) Then you put your hand in mine (you put your hand in mine) And we ran from the rain (ran from the pouring rain, baby) Tentatively kissed "goodnight" (tentatively kissed goodnight) And went our separate ways (way, yeah-eh) And I've never, truly, felt the way that I felt that Fourth of July (Fourth of July) Truly, I have never felt the same as I felt that Fourth of July (Fourth of July) Truly, I could never feel the same as I felt that Fourth of July
