Spots of Time

Spots of time flash before my eyes

Like ribbons of light

Helplessly I try to touch them

Before they disappear into the night

Running fearlessly as in a dream

Headlong into the wind

Cool night air, blowing through our hair

Moonlight dancing on your skin

Do you remember

How young we were or is it just me

Imagining like I always do

When we were once wild and free

Young man yearning for days gone by

Innocence once removed

Familiar feeling of a front porch swing

And a song, always soothes

Spots of time like windows appear

You can look out or in

But you can't get to the future I regret

By going through the past, my friend

Do you remember

How young we were or is it just me

Imagining like I always do

That we were once wild and free

A mother's tears, a sparrow's wing

A lover's eyes softly glistening

Memories that to me are everything

But to others maybe only ashes and dust

Do you remember

How young we were or is it just me

Imagining like I always do

When we were once wild and free

Do you remember

How young we were or is it just me

Imagining like I always do

When we were once wild and free

Wild and free
