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
