Song For a Bygone Era

Lyrics

[Verse 1] It could have been any other three Time was on our side then This time either side of the sliding door His was always open [Pre-Chorus] Now I know how it feels to miss the train And we can never come home again Home again No, I did not feel the desert then 'Cause he was always making rain [Verse 2] It could have been any other three For an accidental family Till I heard a guitar laugh, saw a raccoon cap Come shuffling down the driveway [Pre-Chorus] Now I knew by the time my first song ended That we'd befriend and be befriended Home again Each of us, our disbelief suspended Till he said [Chorus] It sounds like a record Of kids in the backyard Climbing down the dark ladder Playing, singing, capturing A song that made the world A touch more beautiful Sounds like a record Of tears and laughter And friends on a learning curve Their one devotion To a song that made the world A touch more beautiful Sounds like a record Sounds like a record Sounds like a record Sounds like a record [Bridge] Just as every stone rolls through night We roll to a new day Just as every yearling flew the coup We all hit the highway A-la da-da-da A-la da-da-da A-la da-da-da A-la da-da-da I'll know A-la da-da-da A-la da-da-da A-la da-da-da A-la da-da-da I don't I know the [Outro] Kinder side of time gave me your name Don't I know time holds the reins I know it well Enough to tell How lucky my aim If just for that spell to have landed in your frame
