lyrics

Sweet serendipity
Sweet serendipity

It's in the tears of sunset
And it's in the morning rain
And it's in the conversation
With the child man up the lane
And it's coming off the humming
Of the lorry with the load
And it's dripping off the leaves
As they spatter on the road

Sweet serendipity
Sweet serendipity

It's in the waking moments
When you stretch your head from sleep
When you touch the stony circle
And the clay falls off your feet
And the bird that hits the window
When your heart is filled with pain
And it's caught between the door jamb
And the wave that hits the pier

And it’s sweet serendipity
Sweet serendipity

It’s caught between your daddy's shirt
And a Mahler symphony
And it could be when you lift a stone
And skim it on the sea
And it could be when you hear the grass
Growing after rain
When a chrysalis is opening
And you hear that song again

Sweet serendipity
Sweet serendipity
Sweet serendipity
Sweet serendipity
