Trembling
Starry eyed
As you put your hand in mine

It was twilight
On the fourth of July
Sparkling colours
Were strewn across the sky
And we sat close enough
That we just barely touched
While roman candles
Went soaring above us
And baby

Then you put your hand in mine
And we wandered away
I was trembling inside
But I wanted to stay
Pressed against you there
And leave the world behind
On that fourth of July

So starry eyed
On the flowery hillside
Breathless and fervid
Amid the dandelions
As it 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
And we floated away
Delicately lay entwined
In an intimate daze
A crescent moon began to shine
And I wanted to stay
Tangled up with you among the fireflies
On that fourth of July

Thunder clouds
Hung around
So threateningly
Ominously hovering
And the sky
Opened wide
Showering
Oh, yeah, yeah

Then you put your hand in mine
And we ran from the rain
(From the rain, yeah)
Tentatively kissed goodnight
And went our separate ways
And I`ve never truly felt
The way that I felt
The fourth of July
(Fourth of July)

Truly I have never felt the same inside
Like that fourth of July
(Fourth of July)
Truly I could never feel the same as I felt
That fourth of July
(Fourth of July)
