I can recall the sound of the wind[00:00:12]
As it blew through the trees and the trees would bend[00:00:18]
I can recall the smell of the rain[00:00:24]
On a hot summer night Coming through the screen[00:00:29]
I'd crawl in your bed when the lightning flashed[00:00:36]
And I'd still be there[00:00:42]
When the storm had passed Dead to the world [00:00:44]
To the morning cast[00:00:50]
Its light all around your room[00:00:54]
We lived on a street where the tall elm shade[00:01:00]
Was as green as the grass and as cool as a blade[00:01:06]
That you held in your teeth as[00:01:12]
We lay on our backs Staring up[00:01:15]
At the blue and the blue stared back[00:01:21]
I used to believe we were just like those trees[00:01:24]
We'd grown just as tall and as proud as[00:01:30]
We pleased With our feet on the ground and our arms in the breeze[00:01:37]
Under a sheltering sky Twirl me about [00:01:49]
And twirl me around Let me grow dizzy and fall to the ground[00:01:56]
And when I look up at you looking down [00:01:59]
Say it was only a dream[00:02:08]
A big truck was parked in the drive one day[00:02:14]
They wrapped us in paper and moved us away[00:02:20]
Your room was no longer next door to mine[00:02:26]
And this kid sister thing was old by that time[00:02:32]
But oh how our dreams went bump in the night[00:02:38]
And the voices downstairs getting into a fight[00:02:44]
And the next day a silence you could cut with a knife[00:02:50]
And feel like a blade at your throat[00:02:57]
Twirl me about and twirl me around[00:03:03]
Let me grow dizzy and fall to the ground[00:03:09]
When I look up at you looking down[00:03:16]
Say it as only a dream The day you[00:03:22]
Left home you got an early start[00:03:47]
I watched your car back out in the dark[00:03:53]
I opened the door to your room down the hall[00:04:00]
I turned on the light And all that[00:04:06]
I saw Was a bed and a desk and couple of tacks[00:04:13]
No sign of someone who expects to be back[00:04:19]
It must have been one hell of a suitcase you packed[00:04:26]
Twirl me about twirl me around[00:04:40]
Let me grow dizzy and fall to the ground[00:04:46]
When I look up at you looking down[00:04:53]
Say it was only a dream[00:04:57]
