Apricots

V1 If I could find a way to fix one thing in my past Could I change everything if I gave us a second chance Remember you would drop by just to say hello Remember talking by the porch light about a love we used to know V2 Oh how I wish that I'd stayed when you asked me to Instead I lied to myself saying there were things I had to do When you heard the gate lock You knew you couldn't make me stay so You walked me over to the bus stop I should have never turned away C But if you're walking down that old road, you know what to do Walk down just past the apricot grove to the pond where we used to Whisper things that nobody knew And we would make pretend we could capture the light of the moon Never realized what I'd found In that apricot town V3 Years down the road I found You had moved to the city I told myself you'd call Thinking oh he loved me once didn't he All the months I waited from the autumn to the fall Finally the memories faded but I could not lose them all B And how would you look at me now If you ever found I decided to come back around V4 When I say my last prayer and I finally make it home I would be waiting there in the spot we used to call our own I'd remember that way that I feel now I'll meet there someday in our apricot town
