The Miles

Came like a mayflower in the summer heat
Cut out paper for a Christmas tree
We settled somewhere far from the sea
Nothing familiar except our LP’s
Two restless souls burning up the miles
Some call it spirit some call it denial
How was I to know I was only a child
With 2 restless souls running wild
Hair that’s too long, pants the wrong style
Coke bottle glasses for those staring eyes
Walked in slowly trying hard to smile
Hoping that Jesus was still on my side
The years have passed now it’s hard to believe
What was just a moment was never to leave
We came like a mayflower in the summer heat
A last dance to remember with the lady in green
