I CAN RE CALL

THE SOUND OF THE WIND

AS IT BLEW THROUGH

THE TREES

AND THE TREES

WOULD BEND

AND I CAN RE CALL

THE SMELL OF THE RAIN

ON A HOT SUMM ER NIGHT

COM ING THROUGH

THE SCREEN

I'D CRAWL IN YOUR BED

WHEN THE LIGHT NING

FLASHED

AND I'D STILL BE THERE

WHEN THE STORM

HAD PASSED

DEAD TO THE WORLD

TILL THE MORN ING

CAST ITS LIGHT

ALL A ROUND YOUR ROOM

WE LIVED ON A STREET

WHERE THE TALL

ELM SHADE

WAS AS GREEN

AS THE GRASS

AND AS COOL AS A BLADE

THAT YOU HELD

IN YOUR TEETH AS WE

LAY ON OUR BACKS

STAR ING UP AT THE BLUE

AND THE BLUE

STARED BACK

I USED TO BE LIEVE

WE WERE JUST

LIKE THOSE TREES

WE'D GROW JUST AS TALL

AND AS PROUD

AS WE PLEASED

WITH OUR FEET

ON THE GROUND

AND OUR ARMS

IN THE BREEZE

UN DER A

SHELT ER ING SKY

TWIRL ME A BOUT

AND TWIRL ME A ROUND

LET ME GROW DIZ ZY

AND FALL

TO THE GROUND

AND WHEN I LOOK UP

AT YOU LOOK ING DOWN

SAY IT WAS

ON LY A DREAM

A BIG TRUCK

WAS PARKED

IN THE DRIVE ONE DAY

THEY WRAPPED US

IN PA PER

AND MOVED US A WAY

YOUR ROOM

WAS NO LONG ER

NEXT DOOR TO MINE

THIS KID SIS TER THING

WAS OLD BY THAT TIME

BUT OH

HOW OUR DREAMS

WENT BUMP IN THE NIGHT

AND THE VOICES

DOWN STAIRS GET TING

IN TO A FIGHT

AND THE NEXT DAY

A SIL ENCE YOU COULD

CUT WITH A KNIFE

AND FEEL LIKE A BLADE

AT YOUR THROAT

TWIRL ME A BOUT

AND TWIRL ME A ROUND

LET ME GROW DIZ ZY

AND FALL

TO THE GROUND

AND WHEN I LOOK UP

AT YOU LOOK ING DOWN

SAY IT WAS

ON LY A DREAM

THE DAY YOU LEFT HOME

YOU GOT AN EAR LY START

I WATCHED YOUR CAR

BACK OUT IN THE DARK

I OP ENED THE DOOR

TO YOUR ROOM

DOWN THE HALL

I TURNED ON THE LIGHT

AND ALL THAT I SAW

WAS A BED AND A DESK

AND A COUP LE OF TACKS

NO SIGN OF SOME ONE

WHO EX PECTS

TO BE BACK

IT MUST' VE BEEN

ONE HELL OF A SUIT CASE

YOU PACKED

TWIRL ME A BOUT

AND TWIRL ME A ROUND

LET ME GROW DIZ ZY

AND FALL

TO THE GROUND

AND WHEN I LOOK UP

AT YOU LOOK ING DOWN

SAY IT WAS

ON LY A DREAM
