(Weisner/Taylor)

Somehow the season always brings a picture of you, baby boom baby.
|
Holding on for everything you figured you're due, little turtleneck girl.
|
The moon on your shoulder, the wind in your lovely hair, oh what a night.
|
We sat on the beach and watched as the sun rose into the Summer air.
|
|
You said we couldn't miss what we never knew,
|
something about something that you had to do,
|
sitting on the sand with a hole in my shoe.
|
|
I had no way of knowing where you might have been, time goes by.
|
All on my own I imagine you a life in between, all own my own.
|
Wrote a long letter but it never made it out of my head, oh, oh,
|
somehow reading your name it wasn't the same as leaving the thing unsaid.
|
|
How come I miss what I never knew,
|
drag out the past just to paint it blue,
|
and spend my days with a dream of you?
|
|
Oh, after the fall, here I'm trying to find our name on the wall.
|
It was neither yours nor mine, it was something of the two combined,
|
from a time spent out of time.
|
|
I work hard to see that you remember my name, nod your head yes,
|
Do all I can to make you want to see me again, oh what a night.
|
Got a letter from the mail, got a message from the telephone.
|
Seems you're working in town, moving around, living alone.
|
|
Now I'm caught in the spotlight, walking the wire,
|
my feet are frozen and my heart's on fire,
|
what do I do if my dream come true?
|
La la la, la la la la la...
