Baby Boom Baby

Somehow the season always brings a picture of you

Baby boom baby

Holding on for everything you figured you're due

Little turtleneck girl

The moon on your shoulder

The wind in your lovely hair

Oh what a night

We sat on the beach and watched as the sun

Rose into the Summer air

You said we couldn't miss what we never knew

Something about something that you had to do

Sitting on the sand with a hole in my shoe

I had no way of knowing where you might have been

Time goes by

All on my own I imagine you a life in between

All own my own

I worked on a letter but it never made it out of my head

Somehow reading your name it wasn't the same

As leaving the thing unsaid

How come I miss what I never knew

And drag out the past just to paint it blue

And spend my days with a dream of you

Oh, after a fall

Here I'm trying to find our name on the wall

It was neither yours nor mine

It was something of the two combined

From a time spent out of time

I work hard to see that you remember my name

Nod your head yes

Do all I can to make you want to see me again

Oh what a night

Got a letter from the mail, got a message from the telephone

Seems you're working in town

Moving around

Living alone

Now I'm caught in the spotlight

Walking the wire

My feet are frozen and my heart's on fire

What do I do if my dream comes true?
