yesterday I remember   scenes from a childhood tender   second world, rising sunk   beyond from a hundred rune Decembers   from the noise of the crowded streets   down to the soles of the wandering feet   I drank the blue skies filled with telephone lines   in a thousand colors since       from the woods upon Mermaid Hill   my brave brother, I remember you still   enchanted woods there we stood   I felt you could, watching rivers spill   then the summers rolled faster   until to the world came a baby sister   eyes of wonder, how I loved her   she could count the stars with her tiny fingers      to the trains and the planes that have brought me here   to the tides and seasons   fortunes, reasons   to innocence lost and continents crossed   to the courage of a mother and father   who stayed together and shaped my life forever   you're with me always   and will be always      we charted the sky with both hands   that's where we began   we charted the sky with both hands   and the sky never ends      my soul rode the lunar wave   speak low and the distance trembles   your motion love will hold me close   like souls, like words, pure and clear      your motion
