Remind Blue Will Stetson

That path we took to our home
The setting sun and its glow
My quickened pace that took me along the road
“So that they won’t have to wait”
“So I won’t lead them astray.”
The light it seems to pull away into the darkened streets so far away from me
Farther than I can see

And August comes happily
With music filling the streets
And yet that blurry road is so blue to me
“So I’ll recall what you said”
“So tears won’t spill out again”
Before my eyes my mind is filled up with your memory

It seems at last that I recall those kind eyes
Playing back the melody, you sang to me, adults had cast aside

The darkened haze, your laughing face, and even all our sorrow
Through all the heat, my heart still beats, and carries them tomorrow
Those simple days, long gone away, before that painful shade, colored it all back into grey
Just little children playing games
To reach today we ran and chased through choirs of the summer
And yesterday we searched and prayed we’d find that distant color
They passed us by while you and I had mourned the memories painted in the sky
