yesterday I remember scenes from a childhood tender second world, rising sunk beyond from a hundred rune Decembers from the noise of the crowded streets down to the soles of the wandering feet I drank the blue skies filled with telephone lines in a thousand colors since from the woods upon Mermaid Hill my brave brother, I remember you still enchanted woods there we stood I felt you could, watching rivers spill then the summers rolled faster until to the world came a baby sister eyes of wonder, how I loved her she could count the stars with her tiny fingers to the trains and the planes that have brought me here to the tides and seasons fortunes, reasons to innocence lost and continents crossed to the courage of a mother and father who stayed together and shaped my life forever you're with me always and will be always we charted the sky with both hands that's where we began we charted the sky with both hands and the sky never ends my soul rode the lunar wave speak low and the distance trembles your motion love will hold me close like souls, like words, pure and clear your motion
