Monkees - Carlisle Wheeling Lyrics
In a long and involved conversation with myselfI saw a precious thing come into viewWhen I poured through the files taken off my mental shelfI dusted off some memories of youThen I thought about the timesWhen all the world was greenHow the pheonix of our love first flapped its silver wingsAll the urgency and passion of each new day as it happenedAnd how it all mellowed as it grewI remember the times that our laughter would explodeAnd how you would turn to hide your smileThen the hours of silence while the perfumed candle glowedAnd both of us meandered on for milesI remember the time I said I really had to goI remember the tears that filled your eyesThen I touched your hand and told you that it really was a lieAnd though you never knew I did, I criedIts amazing how time can so softly change your waysAnd make you look at things that cant be seenHow the years that roll by can start you listeningNot just to what they say, but what they meanSo forgive me my dear if I seem preoccupiedIf the razor edge of youth filled love is goneBut were both a little older, our relationship has grownNot just in how its shaped, but how its shownSo forgive me my dear if I seem preoccupiedIf the razor edge of youth filled love is goneBut were both a little older and our relationship has grownNot just in how its shaped, but how its shown
