Happiest of All Memorial Days

[Verse 1] I want a child that never grows And a love that'll never get too old No slow days, there's an everchanging pulse Busy nights, the brightest lights You get your cake and eat it too I want to wake up to parades And neon billboard signs where the colours never fade away It's the happiest of all memorial days A slow retreat, a fast defeat [Chorus] If you're still alone I'd like to come back home I'd like to come back home If you're still alone I'd like to come back home I'd like to come back home If you're still alone I'd like to come back home I'd like to come back home If you're still alone I'd like to come back home I'd like to come back home I'd like to come back home [Verse 2] I have been sleeping with the wolves Velvet sheets, the fattest sheep, and an everblowing cold breeze - It's like the planet's just for me There's so much earth, so much ash, so much sea [Chorus] [Verse 3] I want a child that never grows And a love that'll never get too old No slow days, there's an everchanging pulse Busy nights, the brightest lights You get your cake and eat it too [Chorus]
