about

lyrics

We sat and watched the water
And she said she’d take it no more
Because why be the ship captain’s daughter
Who does as she ought to and waits by the shore?

And when I look back on the way that it was
I think of that moment and smile because
I can still smell the ocean
I still see her smile as she sailed away

We went to Coney Island
And she read a book on the merry-go-round
And she rose to the tangerine sky
And she called out like Icarus all the way down

And when I look back on the way that it was
I think of that moment and smile because
If it weren’t for the sunshine
Her wings might have carried us both away

[We sipped her cinnamon tea
And I told her a joke that I can’t quite recall
And she laughed at the joker, or maybe at me
—Or perhaps at the snow that was starting to fall?—

And when I look back on the way that it was
I think of that moment and smile because
Though I’d rather have coffee
At her house it wasn’t for me to say]

Well darlin’, it’s Almost September
And we might be saying goodbye before long
But if you forgive me, I hope you remember
That just cause I’m going
Doesn’t mean I’ll be gone

And when I look back on the way that we are
The way that we are right here
Lying together on somebody’s car
And watching the sun disappear

I’ll think of us laughing
And smile at you back through the years
