I slip out the backdoor into the night
|
I can still feel the sun on my bare feet tonight
|
I am waiting to meet you
|
And waiting to see if you feel the same way about me
|
|
Back in the 70's
|
We were children of freedom
|
Believing we'd make a difference when our time would come
|
And in the darkness
|
When the 4th grade movie played
|
Our fingers touched togethe promising one day...that...
|
|
Tomorrow I will be yours
|
Tomorrow I will be yours
|
Out on a boat with the bell from the shore and the sun so low (so low or solo??)
|
|
I think I fell in love with ya
|
When we always tied for first
|
In clothes with holes and shoes too old and covered in dirt
|
Always makin' me laugh
|
Now you're - you're making me cry
|
Your parents made some money and sent you away
|
To a private prep school high...but
|
|
I slip out the backdoor and into the night
|
To the elm tree we promised we'd meet here tonight
|
I have opened the skin with my grandmothers pin
|
And we vowed under the stars to never forget
|
Midnight Orion is clear in the sky
|
I can feel you come closer to kiss me goodnight
|
Oh please kiss me and hold me and have me again
|
You're the one that I wanted
|
|
Tomorrow I will be yours (4 times)
|
Out on a boat with the bell from the shore, and the sun so low
|
|
Yeah Yeah
|
Yeah Yeah
|
Yeah Yeah
|
|
I slip out the backdoor and into the night
|
All the years now between us dividing our lives
|
I hear that you married in New Orleans
|
And I wonder if you wonder still about me
|
Slip out the backdoor and into the night
|
To the elm tree I go and I laugh at Orion
|
"Cause there in the bark lies our hearts in the tree
|
Side by side
|
Freshly carved
|
Not by me
|
