Where We Began

in our apartment house we're as quiet as we've ever
 been down the
 hallway a girl with honey eyes has moved in when we walked by she just
 smiled but there and then I realized I could drift so far from you and
 when you're standing by my
 side just like you said don't want to lose before I've tried maybe we
 can remember all the things we planned where we began and when the words
 come let's clear the
 strip and let 'em land while we still can my old man has brought half a
 dozen wives into the world I met him last year after twenty years or so
 with no words what a strange
 look in his eye-I thought he knew just what it's like to walk out out
 out of the blue leave behind him every trace of those he knew he made me
 see all I could lose with you
 maybe we can remember all the things we planned but I wandered through
 the weeds slept in the satin sheets got wasted in the heat but I
 can't dream of how I'd feel if
 you'd forgotten me lost me in the leaves maybe we can remember all the
 things we planned where we began and when the words come let's clear the
 strip and let 'em land
 while we still can a girl with honey eyes has moved in I remember I was
 walking with you
