Song for a Bygone Era |
It could have been any other three |
Time was on our side then |
This time either side of the sliding door |
His was always open |
Now I know how it feels to miss the train |
And we can never come home again |
Home again |
No, I did not feel the desert then |
'Cause he was always making rain |
It could have been any other three |
For an accidental family |
Till I heard a guitar laugh, saw a raccoon cap |
Come shuffling down the driveway |
Now I knew by the time my first song ended |
That we’d befriend and be befriended |
Home again |
Each of us, our disbelief suspended |
Till he said |
It sounds like a record |
Of kids in the backyard |
Climbing down the dark ladder |
Playing, singing, capturing |
A song that made the world |
A touch more beautiful |
Sounds like a record |
Of tears and laughter |
And friends on a learning curve |
Their one devotion |
To a song that made the world |
A touch more beautiful |
Sounds like a record |
Sounds like a record |
Sounds like a record |
Sounds like a record |
Just as every stone rolls through night |
We roll to a new day |
Just as every yearling flew the coup |
We all hit the highway |
A-la da-da-da |
A-la da-da-da |
A-la da-da-da |
A-la da-da-da |
I’ll know |
A-la da-da-da |
A-la da-da-da |
A-la da-da-da |
A-la da-da-da |
I don’t I know the |
Kinder side of time gave me your name |
Don’t I know time holds the reins |
I know it well |
Enough to tell |
How lucky my aim |
If just for that spell to have landed in your frame |
