sights and sounds
pull me back down
another year


i was here
i was here


whipping past
the reflecting pool

me and you
skipping school


and we make it up
as we go along
we make it up we

go along

you said -

you raced from langley -
pulling me underneath
a cherry blossom

canopy
-do i have-
of course i have,

beneath my raincoat,
i have your photographs.
and the sun on your

face
i'm freezing that frame


and somewhere alfie cries
and says "enjoy his every smile
you can see in the dark

through the eyes of laura mars"
how did it go so fast
you'll say

as we are looking
back
and then we'll

understand
we held gold dust
in our

hands

sights and sounds

pull me back down
another year


i was here
i was here


gaslights
glow in the street
(flickering past)

twilight held us
in her palm
as we walked along


and we make it up
as we go along

we make it up as we go along

letting names

hang in the
air
what color hair

(auburn crimson)
autumn knowingly
stared

and the day that
she came
i'm freezing that

frame
i'm freezing that frame


and somewhere alfie
smiles
and says "enjoy her
every cry
you can see in the

dark
through the eyes
of laura mars"

how did it go so

fast
you'll say as we are looking back
and then we'll understand
we held gold dust
in our

hands

in our
hands
