maria taylor - birmingham 1982 lyrics

dinner call in the late afternoon
the sun step down for the moon
story books, night lights
and i still remember songs
pianos sing along
and the coloured sounds of spring
its harmony
do you still remember?
fireflies, four-leaf clovers
fingerpainted skin
where life was a reaction
and love was just laughing with a friend

down out in the backyard stream
make a wish for your dream
maybe a kiss maybe a ring
and i still remember songs
the banjos sing along
and the crisp sound of fall
i still recall
do you still remember?

flashlights under covers
raindrops on my tongue
when life had no distractions
and love wasn't hurting anyone

fireflies, four-leaf clovers
fingerpainted skin
we don't know where we're going
we'll get nowhere if we've forgotten where we've been

we'll get nowhere if we've forgotten where we've been
