Cherubs - Josh Woodward

Running in the sand

Living on the land

The salty breeze was in our eyes

We stood beneath the dragonflies and danced all night

We polished all the chrome

On our rusty little home

We slept all night in parking lots

We tied our hearts in double knots, so tight

So free, so right

Remember when

We were just cherubs in our tender skin

Waiting patiently for life to begin

Flowing so free

Blowing in the breeze

The songs we sung so long ago

With whiskey and an afterglow, we shined like new

But there along the way

Something seemed to change

As weeks turned into months we knew

As life caught up we slowly grew, apart

And untied our hearts

Remember when

We were just cherubs in our tender skin

Waiting patiently for life to begin

The summer went away and the skies went gray

We slowly ran out of things to say

The river turned into drought

Our time was fading out

Defeated and alone, we returned back home

Like a bird without a wing who had never flown

Surrendered to, suspended dreams

Remember when

You walked away in the December wind

I felt the stinging on my pale skin

I knew that things would never be the same again

Remember when

The clouds rolled in and then the sunlight dimmed

And what will be, it killed what might have been
