Running in the sand Living on the land
The salty breeze was in our eyes We stood beneath the dragonflies and danced
all night
We polished all the chrome On our rusty little home
We slept all night in parking lots We tied our hearts in double knots, so tight
So free, so right
Remember when We were just cherubs in our tender skin
Waiting patiently for life to begin
Flowing so free Blowing in the breeze
The songs we sung so long ago With whiskey and an afterglow, we shined like
new
But there along the way Something seemed to change
As weeks turned into months we knew As life caught up we slowly grew, apart
And untied our hearts
The summer went away and the skies went gray We slowly ran out of things to say
The river turned into drought Our time was fading out
Defeated and alone, we returned back home Like a bird without a wing who had never flown
Surrendered to, suspended dreams
Remember when You walked away in the December wind
I felt the stinging on my pale skin I knew that things would never be the same
again
Remember when The clouds rolled in and then the sunlight
dimmed And what will be, it killed what might have
been
