  • Ooh-ooh
    Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
    Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

    Now that the light is fading
    Silver and purple at twilight
    Scenes of the day remain with us
    Bright as the fire is burning bright

    Blue as the sky above the lake
    And blue the water flowing
    White birch drooping on the shore
    Her leaves of emerald glowing

    The night is robed in spangled black
    And soon we shall be sleeping
    Beyond the moon that rides on high
    The radiant dawn is creeping, creeping

    Down through the leaves the sunlight
    Came in shafts of gold
    Now by the dying embers
    We watched the day grow old Writer/s: Maggie Rogers

Who writes a song about a name they found in a phone book? That's just one of the everyday things these guys find to sing about. Anything in their field of vision or general scope of knowledge is fair game. If you cross paths with them, so are you.
