I remember a faraway laugh A sweet caress You'd help me zip up my dress I remember your arms around my neck 21 shells wrapped in my nest Endlessness Didn't last I won't change Given the chance And I remember no place for me to hide Before you came home at night I remember you turning out the lights All I ever saw was the red in your eyes No big surprise Happened nearly every night Your own flesh and blood I did wonder why I remember not knowing what to say And how calm you had remained Your child stillborn with no name I remember the never-ending summer rain Oh Please don't let what was get in the way of what's next Don't forget That what's to come hasn't come yet
