Lyrics

On a rain-swept morning down past Steel Bridge
I walked to the water where my memories live
They sang the old songs that my younger days knew
And I saw old reflections of summer trees and you
Bicycle rides, laughter and jest
Silly secrets and backyard picnics
We created new worlds out of clouds dressed as clowns
As we made our way around the town we were bound
And I think of the choice that we had to make
How the pain hurt so long I thought I would break
You said you thought that you would hold me back
Oh darling, when forward with you was like rain on lilacs
I haven't been back to the town where we met
Though the thought crossed my mind I feared the regret
To hear the echoes of laughter and loving so sweet
As we spent summer months kissing soft with bare feet
Do you think of the what-ifs if I'd only stayed?
Would we be happy together or tired and frayed?
Would I still be that beauty that you used to see
When our days were so, so simple with soft grass and tall trees?
And I think of the choice that we had to make
How the pain hurt so long I thought I would break
You said you thought that you would hold me back
Oh darling, when forward with you was like rain on lilacs
So many years gone, I'm happy and wed
At times the thoughts of you are hard to forget
I wonder if you are still sailing that sky
Like the bird that you were, uncaged and free-fly
At daybreak it's true the time that I'd say
When the lilacs are sweet from the dew of the day
I swear I catch the scent of your skin
When the summer was lush and we walked hand in hand
And I think of the choice that we had to make
How the pain hurt so long I thought I would break
You said you thought that you would hold me back
Oh darling, when forward with you was like rain on lilacs
Like rain on lilacs
You thought that you would hold me back
Oh darling, when forward with you was like rain on lilacs
