The new spring sun falls under the darkness
Enter garden lights
The scent of new growth inspires our dreams of everything this can be
Dirt still fresh on our tired hands
We cultivated the soil, with a vision of what can be.
Don't doubt what can come from the smallest seed.
Don't doubt this is a metaphor for the lives we lead.
Dirt still fresh on our tired hands
We cultivated the soil, with a vision of what can be.
Feel our love, transform us here.
Feel our love, transform us here.
We don't like to change, here we choose to change.
We don't like to change, here we let ourselves change.
What starts with a garden in the city, ends with the hope of a farm and a goat.
Don't doubt what can come from the smallest seed.
Don't doubt this is a metaphor for the lives we lead.
Dirt still fresh on our tired hands
We cultivated the soil, with a vision of what can be.

Map of the Years

I see it like a map of the years layered in the sunlight,
faded out when the days got too bright.
I know we didn't always see it like that. It's not just about us anymore.
I was afraid of loosing you still I let you when you needed me to.
I waited for you to look back, I saw you did for a second.
When it comes down we can't try to control what the future brings
I don't mean to scare you.
Was it how we looked in the picture we took?
Or how the photo looked hanging on the wall?
I see it like a map of the years layered in the sunlight,
faded out when the days got too bright.
I know we didn't always see it like that. It's not just about us anymore.
I held my tongue and didn't promise you that I would be here if you needed me to
I knew you wouldn't have wanted it.
Still in that moment we didn't let ourselves think about the end.
I see it like a map of the years layered in the sunlight,
faded out when the days got too bright.
I know we didn't always see it like that. It's not just about us anymore.

dan zenga Toronto, Ontario
Dan Zenga is a Toronto-based indie-folk musician. Zenga’s latest EP, 'we put ourselves in the way of wonder', is a roll of film taken over a 15-year relationship, complete with grainy still-framed photos of movement in the dark, light-leaks, and sun-soaked over-exposure. ... more
