From Within and Around

lyrics

Blooms are baffling me again
and it seems so long since way back when
She picked some honeysuckle on our summer stroll
And wouldn't take another step until I took a taste
of what reminded her of visiting Texas
Just a drop upon her tongue and she could hear
Her mother's father's laugh
So I closed my eyes and took a sip and she said "Babe, can you hear him?"
I apologized sincerely that "I can't"

She wanted so badly to share with me her memories
She wanted so badly for me to know

Why she would need a moment 'cuz I'd need a moment too
When something got us thinking 'bout that great man
But life is busier these days
The needs are curds the wants are whey
And we've yet to cross off visiting Texas
But I don't like to dwell, in fact we're building memories from scratch
And honey well I'm damn proud of that
'Cuz I ain't fool enough to ask a genie for another wish
Or look too long at Texas on a list
