Bright are the pictures kept in our minds The canvas of something once left behind And I still remember the tilt of the earth Bloom of the dogwood, sweat on your shirt But places change, there is no returning home Tried to be something I couldn't be Seven years later caught up to me And death doesn't care about anyone's plans When you last spoke or how soft you land The days push forward, there is no returning home Once you go Nights of silver, days of gold All these faces I used to know Signs of all the shops that changed We drift apart, we're turning away And I was wrong about the way the words would fall out of my mouth Signal to turn off Wickenden Street The kid's dozing off in the backseat
