birmingham 1982

dinner call in the late afternoon

the sun step down for the moon

story books

nightlights

and i still remember songs

piano sing-alongs

and the colored sounds of spring

its harmony

do you still remember?

fireflies

four-leaf clovers

fingerpainted skin

where life was a reaction

and love was just laughing with a friend

down out in the backyard stream

make a wish for your dream

maybe a kiss maybe a ring

and i still remember songs

the banjo sing-alongs

and the crisp sound of fall

i still recall

do you still remember?

flashlights under covers

raindrops on my tongue

when life had no distractions

and love wasn't hurting anyone

fireflies

four-leaf clovers

fingerpainted skin

we don't know where we're going

we'll get nowhere if we've forgotten where we've been

we'll get nowhere if we've forgotten where we've been
