Tyler
Lover, tell me if you can
Who's gonna buy the wedding bands?
Times being what they are
Hard and getting harder all the time

Joshua
Lover, when I sing my song
All the rivers'll sing along
And they're gonna break their banks for us
And with their gold, be generous
All a-flashing in the pan, all to fashion for your hand
The river's gonna give us the wedding bands

Tyler
Lover, tell me if you're able
Who's gonna lay the wedding table?
Times being what they are
Dark and getting darker all the time

Joshua
Lover, when I sing my song
All the trees gonna sing along
And they're gonna bend their branches down
To lay their fruit upon the ground
The almond and the apple
And the sugar from the maple
The trees are gonna lay the wedding table

{Instrumental break.}

Tyler
So when you sing your song —
The one you're working on —
Spring will come again?

Joshua
Yes.

Tyler
Why don't you sing it then?

Joshua
It isn't finished

Tyler
Sing it.
You wanna take me home?

Joshua
Yes.

Tyler
Sing the song.

Joshua
La la la la la la...
La la la la la la...
La la la la la la...

{As Joshua sings his tune, nature awakes around him. The Chorus echoes him.}

Joshua & Chorus
La la la la la la...
La la la la la la...
La la la la la la...

{A red flower appears in Joshua's hand when he finishes the tune.}

Tyler
How'd you do that?

Joshua
I don't know.
The song's not finished though.

Tyler
Even so, it can do this?

{Tyler takes the flower.}

Joshua
I know...

Tyler
You have to finish it!

Lover, tell me when we're wed
Who's gonna make the wedding bed?
Times being what they are
Hard and getting harder all the time

Joshua
Lover, when I sing my song
All the birds gonna sing along
And they'll come flying from all around
To lay their feathers on the ground
And we'll lie down in eiderdown
A pillow 'neath our heads
The birds gonna make the wedding bed

Tyler
And the trees gonna lay the wedding table

Joshua
And the rivers gonna give us the wedding bands

Chorus
Mmm...
