Lyrics

I remember
The hill of red clay rocks
Lee Orlean chucking arms
The boys, the hill
And the wild flights home from war
Silent stares, we crept before
Your mom at the TV
Had a clue
She never talked to me
Or to you
But when we would have a game
Up there she would shout your name
And the record, we'd hush
She'd go away
We'd dim the light in your room
And we would play
You were more like a girl every time
We'd fall asleep to the tune
As the walls spun 'round
Life flashed, light stuck
With you, Lee, under
Bedsheets, a tent we had made
There were things as I remember
Hard things for you
As a man you left angry
Oh Lee, how a child can whine
I'm done telling lies to mine
There's no deal in it all
He needs to hear
All the things we're pining for
All that's carried far from shore
Leave one bitter about
What remains
I'm not telling him now
Just the same
You were a dream when you painted your eyes
Mighty you were, like a sail on a heaving sky
