Let's Share Dreams Together

WHAT ARE CHILDLIKE LONGINGS IN YOUR CLOSET
ONCE YOU'RE DRESSED AND CARESSED THEM
WHERE DO YOU LEAVE THAT PRECIOUS DEPOSIT
IT'S ALRIGHT IF YOU'D LIKE TO PUT THEM WITH MINE
THEY'D LIKE SOME FRIENDS WITH WHOM TO PASS TIME
WOULD YOU LIKE TO SHARE SOME PASSED SUMMER SEASON
WHERE WE COULD LAUGH AND RUN FOR NO NECESSARY REASON
OUR EYES ARE DRY EXCEPT FOR VAPOR OFF THE LAKE
WE LICK THE SPRINKLES FROM SOMEONE'S CAKE
WE'VE GROWN UP IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE COUNTRY
BUT SOMETIMES MY SPIRIT JUST GETS SO HUNGRY
TO GO OFF AND RUN WITH SOMEONE ELSE'S MEMORIES
BUT THE TRUTH IS I GUESS I DON'T KNOW YOU THAT WELL
YOU PROBABLY HAVE SADDER STORIES TO TELL
I LIKE TO THINK YOUR YOUTH WAS SWEETLY OLD-FASHIONED
WHAT MOMENTS I CAN DREAM UP AND IMAGINE
PEACEFUL SUMMER EVENINGS AWAKENED BY THUNDER
STARLIGHT AND FIREFLIES EVOKING YOUR WONDER
FINDING YOUR WAY HOME BY THE COTTAGE LIGHT
SMOKE IN THE AIR AS THE CHARCOAL IGNITES
DANCING BAREFOOT IN CIRCLES IN THOSE PRETTY DRESSES
REVEAL IN MY DREAMS WHAT MY SUBCONSCIOUS CONFESSES
SO WHEN YOUR MEMORIES YEARN TO RUN AND HIDE
FEEL FREE TO PLACE OUR DREAMS TOGETHER SIDE BY SIDE
