Acacia

(verse 1)

a cold rain drop

fell on my head

I didn't know it was supposed to rain today

so we share your striped umbrella for two

hey, do you think

that I could grab your hand

and you not shirk away

I just want to gaze at the tiger lilies with you

small talk about the acacia in Africa

then I ask "do you love me?"

(chorus)

then suddenly I'm taken back

to when I would think

a future with just us two

is a signpost to the future

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

silver flowers bloom up on the hill

that the green breeze pushes us up to

you're surprised at how I can turn any phrase

someday maybe we'll return

with a family that can run

to the place where we said

those words and you kissed my forehead

"hey, I think that I'm quite fond of you"

and I blush "do you love me?"

(chorus)

a nostalgic memory

rides the wind quickly

and the one thing that I know

is that love can grow

(end chorus)

(bridge)

small talk about the acacia in Africa

then I ask "do you love me?"

(chorus)

then suddenly I'm taken back

to when I would think

a future with just us two

is a signpost to the future

a nostalgic memory

rides the wind quickly

and the one thing that I know

is that love can grow

(end chorus)
