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 skins
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
Remember when
We were just cherubs in our tender skins
Waiting patiently for life to begin
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 blacked out what might have been
