Remember Dear

These United States
Do you remember dear
The first time when we walked through here
Glancing butchers' knives and ages wired
Balconies and birds and bees
Tapestries on tweeting trees
And all of these things, they were all glistening
It was bright and it was brilliant
And life was good and things were fine
Words were nice, we said them twice
And what's more, we were really really really listening
Do you remember dear how clear
Then you went away from here
And left me standing all alone
Nothing but a necktie on
And I don't know now where you've gone
And all the streets seem far too long
And all the hours pushing dawn
Combine into really really something
Do you remember dear? I do
