MARIA TAYLOR LYRICS - Birmingham 1982

"Birmingham 1982"



Dinner call in the late afternoon

The sun step down for the moon

Story books, nightlights

And I still remember songs

Piano sing-alongs

And the colored 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 banjo sing-alongs

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
