[00:10.96]I can recall the sound of the wind
[00:17.63]As it blew throught the trees and the trees would bend
[00:23.03]I can recall the smell of the rain
[00:29.04]On a hot summer night
[00:31.77]Coming through the screen
[00:35.26]I'd crawl in your bed when the lightning flashed
[00:41.09]And I'd still be there when the storm had passed
[00:47.78]Dead to the world, till the morning cast
[00:53.63]Its light all around your room
[00:59.16]We lived on a street where the tall elm shade
[01:05.30]Was as green as the grass and as cool as a blade
[01:11.67]That you held in your teeth as we lay on our backs
[01:17.78]Staring up at the blue and the blue stared back
[01:23.91]I used to believe we were just like those trees
[01:29.97]We'd grow just as tall and as proud as we pleased
[01:36.40]With our feet on the ground and our arms in the breeze
[01:42.65]Under a sheltering sky
[01:48.64]Twirl me about, and twirl me around
[01:54.95]Let me grow dizzy and fall to the ground
[02:01.07]And when I look up at you looking down
[02:07.27]Say it was only a dream
[02:13.45]A big truck was parked in the drive one day
[02:19.78]They wrapped us in paper and moved us away
[02:25.77]Your room was no longer next door to mine
[02:31.88]This kid sister thing was old by that time
[02:37.64]But oh how our dreams went bump in the night
[02:43.63]And the voices downstairs getting into a fight
[02:49.98]And the next day a silence you could cut with a knife
[02:55.86]And feel like a blade at your throat
[03:02.42]Twirl me about and twirl me around
[03:08.97]Let me grow dizzy and fall to the ground
[03:15.62]And when I look up at you looking down
[03:21.86]Say it was only a dream
[03:29.26]🎵
[03:45.20]The day you left home you got an early start
[03:52.37]I watched your car back out in the dark
[03:58.73]I opened the door to your room down the hall
[04:05.36]I turned on the light
[04:08.66]And all that I saw
[04:12.11]Was a bed and a desk and couple of tacks
[04:19.09]No sign of someone who expects to be back
[04:25.94]It must have been one hell of a suitcase you packed
[04:33.34]🎵
[04:38.92]Twirl me about, twirl me around
[04:45.77]Let me grow dizzy and fall to the ground
[04:52.32]And when I look up at you looking down
[04:59.33]Say it was only a dream
[05:03.14]🎵
