Lyrics

Remember When

Tell Me
Tell Me
Why’s it have to be this way
This way we’re lost
This way we’ve lost our hearts

It was when
I looked at you
I saw, not one thing or two
I saw light
Explosion I saw light
Together
Together you and me
Together

Remember then
You said we’d always be

Remember when
Remember when

we walked that rocky beach
on that oh so private shore
far from anyone
no want for anything more

you leaned back against
that warm and massive rock
one foot planted to the earth
one planted up against the stone

your knee bent back
speaking slowly side to side
like a gate swinging, singing in the wind
living door to life within

remember when
remember then

you shaped gravity around me
swept me in that flooding tide
i flowed through a gate to earth
while soaring in a cloud

i fell ever deeper more and yet
sailed ever higher still
sinking ever down
wings melting in the sun

I remember when
I remember when you said,
you’d never leave,

Remember when
You said we’d always be

We found our star
Two moons we were
Embraced in the warmth
Dancing spinning in the light

Let’s do that again
Let’s go back, be here
and over there, now and then
Together, always where and when

Remember then
You said we’d always be

Remember then
You said forever we
Always you and me

Don’t tell me how
It’s way beyond our reach
