Builder’s Tea Lyrics by Acollective

The Coming of Light

2018

It was the longest writing on the wall
A trail of red lights flashing
But the only way to hear the call
Was heed just what was said
You get so lonely just from seeing how it all fits well together
First came winter, then came spring
You said nothing so we didn't change a thing

We are the runners up
A winning hub
Contenders of the Asian cup
We can’t afford to treasure what is over
Over
And every time you break the line
You keep what's yours
I keep what's mine
First came winter, then came spring
You said nothing so we didn’t change a thing

So many, so many, baby steps
Too many baby steps
Soon there'll be too many babies on board
So many, so many, baby steps
Too many baby steps
Soon there'll be too many babies on board

All the normal people wait around for normal people
All the normal people don't wait around too long

A steady tree won't make a sound
Or notice that you're not around
Something new just ended
So then something old begins
Take back the unconditioned love you have
And plant it in the desert
First came winter, then came spring
Keep moving if you're bleeding from within

So many, so many baby steps
Too many baby steps
Soon there'll be too many babies on board
So many, so many baby steps
Too many baby steps
Soon there’ll be too many babies on board
So many, so many baby steps
Too many baby steps
Soon there’ll be too many babies on board
So many, so many baby steps
Too many baby steps
Soon there'll be too many babies on board

All the normal people wait around for normal people
All the normal people don’t wait around too long

And all the normal people keep it nice and clean and simple
When they leave without a signal
Don't wait around too long
