The tree by the river
When we were seventeen?
The dark canyon wall, the call and the answer
And the mare in the pasture
Pitch plack and baring it's teeth
I recall the sun in our faces
Stuck and leaning on graces
And being strangers to change
The radio and the bones we found frozen
All the thorns and the roses
Beneath your window pane
Now I'm asleep in a car
I mean the world
To a potty mothed girl
And a pretty pair of blue-eyed birds
"Time isn't kind or unkind"
You liked to say
But I wonder to who
And what it is you're saying today
Now I'm asleep in a car
I mean the world
To a potty mothed girl
And a pretty pair of blue-eyed birds
"Time isn't kind or unkind"
You liked to say
But I wonder to who
And what it is you're saying today
Maryanne, do you remember
The tree by the river
When we were seventeen?
The dark canyon road,
I was coy in the half moon
Happy just to be with you
And you were happy for me.
Maryanne, do you remember The tree by the river When we were seventeen? The dark canyon wall, the call and the answer And the mare in the pasture Pitch plack and baring it's teeth I recall the sun in our faces Stuck and leaning on graces And being strangers to change The radio and the bones we found frozen All the thorns and the roses Beneath your window pane Now I'm asleep in a car I mean the world To a potty mothed girl And a pretty pair of blue-eyed birds "Time isn't kind or unkind" You liked to say But I wonder to who And what it is you're saying today Now I'm asleep in a car I mean the world To a potty mothed girl And a pretty pair of blue-eyed birds "Time isn't kind or unkind" You liked to say But I wonder to who And what it is you're saying today Maryanne, do you remember The tree by the river When we were seventeen? The dark canyon road, I was coy in the half moon Happy just to be with you And you were happy for me. Explain Request ×
