Time it was,
And what a time it was
It was . . .
A time of innocence
A time of confidences
Long ago . . . it must be . . .
I have a photograph
Preserve your memories
They’re all that’s left you
Photographs and memories
Christmas cards you sent to me
All that I have are these
To remember you
I got a Nikon camera,
I love to take a photograph,
So Mama don’t take my kodachrome away…
Every time I see your face
It reminds me of the places we used to go
But all I’ve got is a photograph
And I realize you’re not coming back anymore
I’m leaving on a jet plane,
Don’t know when I’ll be back again…
Big ol’ jet airliner
Don’t carry me too far away
Oh, oh big ol’ jet airliner
'Cause it’s here that I’ve got to stay
I looked over Jordan, and what did I see
Coming for to carry me home
A band of angels coming after me
Coming for to carry me home
[Out of game]
I just watched a 3 year- old video of James Taylor’s revised Fire and Rain.
Teen angel, can you hear me?
Teen angel, can you see me?
Are you somewhere up above?
And I am still your own true love?
I wish I was a little bit taller
I wish I was a baller
I wish I had a girl who looked good, I would call her
I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat
And a six four Impala
How I wish, how I wish you were here
We’re just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year
Running over the same old ground
And how we found
The same old fears
Wish you were here
Just a little atom of chlorine
Valence minus one
Swimming through the sea
Diggin the scene just havin fun
…
But somewhere in that sea lurks handsome sodium
Na na na na, na na na na, Batman!
Na na na na, na na na na, Batman!
I can see Cl early now
The ra In is gone
I can C all O bstacles in my way
Gone Ar e the dark clouds that H ad me blind
He ain’t got no distractions
Can’t hear those buzzers and bells
Don’t see lights a flashin’
Plays by sense of smell
Always gets a replay
Never seen him fall
That deaf dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pin ball
Flash, a-ah, saviour of the universe
Flash, a-ah, he’ll save everyone of us
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Flash, a-ah, he’s a miracle
Flash, a-ah, king of the impossible
Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes
They call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box
They tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe
I feel a hot wind on my shoulder
And the touch of a world that is older
Turn the switch and check the number
Leave it on when in bed I slumber
Lullabye and goodnight…
Goodnight, sweetheart, well it’s time to go,
Goodnight, sweetheart, well it’s time to go,
I hate to leave you, but I really must say,
Goodnight, sweetheart, goodnight.
