I&W...maybe less

beyond the ridge to the left, you asked me what i want
betweent the trees and cicadas singing round the pond
"i spent an hour with you should i want anything else?"
one grin and wink like the neon on the liquor store
we were sixteen maybe less, maybe a little more
i walked home smiling finally i had a story to tell

and though an autumn time lullaby sang our new born love to sleep
my brother told me he saw you there
in the woods one christmas eve, waiting

call it predictable,yesterday my dream was of you
beyond the ridge to the west, the sun had left the sky
between the trees and pond you put your hand in mine
said "time has bridled both of us, but i remeber you too"

and though a autumn time lullaby sang our new born love to sleep
i dreamt i traveled and found you there
in the woods one christams eve... waiting
