Oh kiss me out of the bearded barley,
Nightly , beside the green, green grass
Swing, swing, swing the spinning step
You'll wear those shoes and I will wear that dress
Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift you open hand
Strike up the band, and make the fireflies dance
Silvermoon's sparkling,
So kiss me
Kiss me down by the broken tree house
Swing me , upon its hanging tire
Bring, bring , bring your flowered hat
We'll take the trail marked on your father's map
Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift you open hand
Strike up the band, and make the fireflies dance
Silvermoon's sparkling,
So kiss me
Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift you open hand
Strike up the band, and make the fireflies dance
Silvermoon's sparkling,
So kiss me
So kiss me
So kiss me
Nightly , beside the green, green grass
Swing, swing, swing the spinning step
You'll wear those shoes and I will wear that dress
Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift you open hand
Strike up the band, and make the fireflies dance
Silvermoon's sparkling,
So kiss me
Kiss me down by the broken tree house
Swing me , upon its hanging tire
Bring, bring , bring your flowered hat
We'll take the trail marked on your father's map
Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift you open hand
Strike up the band, and make the fireflies dance
Silvermoon's sparkling,
So kiss me
Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift you open hand
Strike up the band, and make the fireflies dance
Silvermoon's sparkling,
So kiss me
So kiss me
So kiss me

1 - SntR are a christian band so I don't think that they are writing lesbian songs.
2 - The songwriter. Matt Slocum, is a guy.
3 - What if he wrote the song intending it to be a duet with the girl singing the first verse (shoes & dress) and the guy singing the second verse (flowered hat)? Worksw, don't you think?
In regard to SntR's version of "There She Goes", that song is considered to be about drugs (heroin) and was written and originally performed by The Las. Here's a crazy idea. Perhaps they liked the poppy sound of that song so much, they didn't want to mess with it by changing the lyrics of the song so sang it referring to "She" even though Leigh Nash (a girl) was singing.
Matt Slocum and Leigh Bingham Nash both attended New Braunfels home of the fighting Unicorns
Yes I said Unicorns.....Alma Matre
"New Braunfels High I sing to the with love and loyalty
My heart is filled with love for you and ever shall it be
My comradship I'll never forget and aver shall it be
the blue and white for truth and right shall live for ever more"
For grins look at the classmate of Leigh wbo became a photographer gingerdiaz.com/ also

I have often wondered if the flooding series begining 1998 had occurred some 20 years previous.
Leigh was in 7th grade when Crowded House released "Don't Dream its Over" which the band also covered
There is a fictional story of a cross-country team New Braunfels that is set Leigh's Senior Year the depcition of the hometown is far less flattering but according to many who were there accurate to the otherside and powerful nature of the town that gave brith to Six Pence None the Richer.
For the record yes there was confirmed one ex nazi scientist stashed in New Braunfels under 2 miles from the high school Leigh Nash and Matt Slocum attendend..
It's pretty convincing if you just heard the song that it's about a lesbian couple. I'm straight yet friends with a lot of GBLT people, and I can easily picture one of my friends taking her beloved to visit the farm she grew up on and then going dancing later that night.
But that's not it. It's the flowered hat that's throwing everyone off. What guy would wear a flowered hat? Well, the truth is the song is a love song written for this man:

Damn romantic, I say!
And boys can wear flowered hats too! I don't think she's singing about a girl though.
I do love the imagery in the lyrics too, it's beautiful.
