Tarnished Ol' Photograph

In this tarnished and old photograph

We race through a field of green

There was nothin' we held on our backs

We were young we were wild and free

When we got to bridge

Where you almost passed out from the sweltering heat

I ran back to house

To grab you some water and somethin' to eat

And your skin is glistened in the sun

And what shown on the river reflections of love

And our smoke from our cigarettes

Twirled through the wind

We twirled through the air and almost off the bridge

But you kept me from falling and I kept laughin'

The bird in the trees kept on ratt a tatt tattin'

The water below us it shimmered like gold

And I swore in that moment with you I'd grow old

And still to this day when I study your smile

I arrive at that bridge where I'll rest for a while

And chat with the birds

From that river of gold of mystery freedom and memory's old

In this optimistic and fresh photograph

We'll stand and hold hands at the start of a path

And we'll look to each other and tell one another

I love you, you wont' walk alone
