Birmingham 1982 - Maria Taylor

Dinner call in the late afternoon

The sun step down for the moon

Story books, night lights

And I still remember songs

Pianos sing along

And the coloured sounds of spring

Its harmony

Do you still remember?

Fireflies, four-leaf clovers

Fingerpainted skin

Where life was a reaction

And love was just laughing with a friend

Down out in the backyard stream

Make a wish for your dream

Maybe a kiss maybe a ring

And I still remember songs

The banjos sing along

And the crisp sound of fall

I still recall

Do you still remember?

Flashlights under covers

Raindrops on my tongue

When life had no distractions

And love wasn’t hurting anyone

Fireflies, four-leaf clovers

Fingerpainted skin

We don’t know where we’re going

We’ll get nowhere if we’ve forgotten where we’ve been

We’ll get nowhere if we’ve forgotten where we’ve been
