"In June" lyrics

I threw you off your guard
Then you hit back hard
Took the wind from us
And no-one was prepared
At least your bones were spared in June

When I was a child
Struggling to be wild
You were heart, soul and the fairest of them all
Arrived before the fall in June

And when my chest was sore
You laid me on the floor
Beat my back 'til there was rhythm in my bones
Drums between the stones in June

And when my brother ran
Smallest of the clan
Took up King St where you softly made a stand
Pity stayed your hand in June

A flash of blue and green
A dart across the stream
Juice and jam pieces
A simple worded rhyme, a slower beat of time in June

A sister more akin to living life a twin
Two peas, one lifetime
Selfless in her heart
Selfless in her part in June

And so the seasons passed
Like plaster makes a cast
Layer on layer
And it was in the morning light you took your final flight in June

I threw you off your guard
Then you hit back hard
Took the wind from us
And no-one was prepared
At least your bones were spared in June
