Track Five
Julian and Julia
Born on the same late day in Spring
Born while singing love songs to their mom
Mom couldn't help but sing along
The years passed along, grew up tall and strong
Never apart, kept her in his heart
And him and hers, never gave it words
Never a need, they did as the pleased
Never apart

Mom got sick and then she died
Julian had her by his side
All through the night
When he found out and cried
Wished she was alive to look in his eyes
And she'd see her boy and his best friend, her girl
Exploring the world, her boy and her girl
Were tired and cold since she caught what's around
And sleeps in the ground, stripped of the sound
That she kept and found one late day in Spring

Oh
But she's still alive in the heart of those two
Sending sparks 'round the room through Julian and Julia
