I Remember

[Verse 1]

I remember a faraway laugh

A sweet caress

You'd help me zip up my dress

I remember your arms around my neck

Twenty-one shells wrapped in a nest

Endlessness

Didn't last

I won't change

Given the chance

[Verse 2]

I remember no place for me to hide

Before you came home at night

I remember you turning out the lights

All I ever saw was the red in your eyes

No big surprise

Happened nearly every night

Your own flesh and blood

I did wonder why

[Verse 3]

I remember not knowing what to say

And how calm you had remained your child

Stillborn with no name

I remember the never ending summer rain

Ooh

Please don't let what was

Get in the way of what's next

Don't forget that what's to come hasn't come yet
