I like this song. It reminds me how fleeting earthly things are, how important, yet how difficult, earthly relationships are. Everything about our experience here on earth is coming to an end, its not a matter of if, but of WHEN. This is true of human relationships, the same as for anything else. They are the stuff that a good and full life is made up of. There is something deep and spiritual about them....knowing someone, being known, sitting with them, taking in life with them. For me this song reveals the difficultly of human relationships: the preciousness and value they add to life, the joy of being known and the awareness that if it were otherwise life would not be as good and then the flip-side of letting them go when it is time.
They were sitting
They were sitting on the strawberry swing
Every moment was so precious
They were sitting
They were talking under strawberry swing
Everybody was for fighting
Wouldn't wanna waste a thing
Cold, cold water bring me round
Now my feet won't touch the ground
Cold, cold water what ya say?
When it's such…
It's such a perfect day
It's such a perfect day
I remember
We were walking up to strawberry swing
I can't wait until the morning
Wouldn't wanna change a thing
People moving all the time
Inside a perfectly straight line
Don't you wanna curve away?
When it's such…
It's such a perfect day
It's such a perfect day
Now the sky could be blue
I don't mind
Without you it's a waste of time
Could be blue
I don’t mind
Without you it’s a waste of time
Could be blue,
could be grey
without you I’m just miles away
could be blue
I don’t mind
Without you it’s a waste of time
