the years (prologue)

Singer:midnight, the

shy kid

knees always bruised

the daddy's girl that became you

in the front seat

you pulled me close

kissed my lips

it tasted like home

flashes of crosswords and chamomile

the years pass like a ferris wheel

tiny fractures in the form

the days we live so much more

we got a little place near the beach

we watch the sailboats out at sea

and we ride along the palisades

love is just a summer day

if you hold too tight it starts to fade

let it go then

then it floats away

in time will you remember me

for a second we had everything

half awake and sunburned. searching vines of summer. aimless and upwards.
