16, Maybe Less

Lyrics

Beyond the ridge to the left, you asked me what I want
 Between the trees and cicadas singing around the pond
 "I spent an hour with you, should I want anything else?"
 One grinning wink like the neon on a liquor store
 We were sixteen, maybe less, maybe a little more
 I walked home smiling, I finally had a story to tell
 And though an autumn time lullaby
 Sang our newborn love to sleep
 My brother told me he saw you there
 In the woods one Christmas Eve, waiting
 I met my wife at a party, when I drank too much
 My son is married and tells me we don't talk enough
 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 the pond, you put your hand in mine
 Said, "Time has bridled us both, but I remember you too"
 And though an autumn time lullaby
 Sang our newborn love to sleep
 I dreamt I traveled and found you there
 In the woods one Christmas Eve, waiting
