number nine

number nine

i wish

i wish i could remember

i wish that i may remember your name

oh the sweetening

all the motels

cheap nights

sweet rites

lovely movement

the moon on the river is telling the truth

that moon

that river

i wish i could remember

i could remember

i wish i could remember your name

i wish i could remember

oh lord

the power of the word

one name

the power of the word

schoolgirl days

and the school boy ways

every day i played with the girl next door

every other day she'd come and play with me

you can play in my apple tree

you can squeeze my lemon

you can play in my apple tree

you can come in my yard anytime

i wish i could remember

i wish i could remember

i wish i could remember

i wish i could remember your name

all the time and paper flying by

all those years

the postage stamps

just to tell you i'm alive

i wish i could remember

i wish i could remember your name

i wish i could remember

you know i do
