lyrics

Three years ago
Off Ruddell Road
I hid behind a tree
Heartbeat quick, I wondered if
You two could ever find me

The smell of fresh cut hay
Suspended in between
A million little stars
And thirteen year old me
Was cut in two by cigarettes
And quiet conversation
That grew until we finished
Our late night hide and seek

Way down along the fence line
Where we had to bury Lin
I realized I was happier
Than I had ever been
And down along the trees
Where we had to bury Ty

I was allowed once more to be a child

Three weeks ago
In Daniel's backyard
I shared a smoke and wondered at
The way the story ends
Midnight, clear mind
I coud see that things were changing fast
It's rare that something built
Can last
