Recently,
it all came back to me.
Somebody promised us roses,
at least to live by for a while on dreams.
But today I see,
but only a memory of a decade ago
that vanished from sight with the speed of a shooting star
Leaving you,
leaving me where we are
You could say we sailed on stormy
seas Or you could say that we failed
like seven out of ten in our neighborhood
But I prefer remembering the way we were
When we both thought the other had hung the moon
Cause all too soon
came the troubled times
And the broken rhymes so hard to define till recently
Oh,
I could have tried for a thousand
years For the long and winding night
And the recent near,
the product of all our years
Dressed in a navy blue blazer,
headed for a first class school in the east
And I'd like to say
he's hardly a failure now
And that neither are you on the second
time around with a wife and a family
And the roses that lately rind in the new baby's eyes so recently
