I Can't Forget

I can't forget
the fire of that springtime
wildflowered hillsides
and lightning
and you
Became part of me
but I wasn't part of you
you were still waiting for
the one whom you love.

Refrain
And all the time
you wasted trying
to rise on the dream
of a love that wouldn't be
And all the time
spent crying
for the one whom you love
should have been time
spent with me.

I can't forget
the heat of that summer
the shimmer and glisten
sunshine
and you
While I held you close
held me far away
. . . come again another day . . .

(Refrain)

I can't forget
the smoke of that winter
high in my chimney
or deep in my glass
And the smell of your hand lingers
just past my fingertips
not mine to keep perhaps
but mine to recall

(Refrain)
...loved
should have been time
loving me.

(coda)
And all the time
I wasted trying
to run with the breeze
on the legs of a foal
You believed
you could soar with the wind
on the wings of your soul.
