|
sights and sounds |
|
pull me back down |
|
another year |
|
|
|
i was here |
|
i was here |
|
|
|
whipping past |
|
the reflecting pool |
|
me and you |
|
skipping school |
|
|
|
and we make it up |
|
as we go along |
|
we make it up we |
|
go along |
|
|
|
you said - |
|
you raced from langley - |
|
pulling me underneath |
|
a cherry blossom |
|
canopy |
|
-do i have- |
|
of course i have, |
|
beneath my raincoat, |
|
i have your photographs. |
|
and the sun on your |
|
face |
|
i'm freezing that frame |
|
|
|
and somewhere alfie cries |
|
and says "enjoy his every smile |
|
you can see in the dark |
|
through the eyes of laura mars" |
|
how did it go so fast |
|
you'll say |
|
as we are looking |
|
back |
|
and then we'll |
|
understand |
|
we held gold dust |
|
in our |
|
hands |
|
|
|
sights and sounds |
|
pull me back down |
|
another year |
|
|
|
i was here |
|
i was here |
|
|
|
gaslights |
|
glow in the street |
|
(flickering past) |
|
twilight held us |
|
in her palm |
|
as we walked along |
|
|
|
and we make it up |
|
as we go along |
|
we make it up as we go along |
|
|
|
letting names |
|
hang in the |
|
air |
|
what color hair |
|
(auburn crimson) |
|
autumn knowingly |
|
stared |
|
and the day that |
|
she came |
|
i'm freezing that |
|
frame |
|
i'm freezing that frame |
|
|
|
and somewhere alfie |
|
smiles |
|
and says "enjoy her |
|
every cry |
|
you can see in the |
|
dark |
|
through the eyes |
|
of laura mars" |
|
|
|
how did it go so |
|
fast |
|
you'll say as we are looking back |
|
and then we'll understand |
|
we held gold dust |
|
in our |
|
hands |
|
|
|
in our |
|
hands |
