[Verse 1]
I remember a faraway laugh
A sweet caress
You'd help me zip up my dress
I remember your arms around my neck
Twenty-one shells wrapped in a nest
Endlessness
Didn't last
I won't change
Given the chance

[Verse 2]
I remember no place for me to hide
Before you came home at night
I remember you turning out the lights
All I ever saw was the red in your eyes
No big surprise
Happened nearly every night
Your own flesh and blood
I did wonder why

[Verse 3]
I remember not knowing what to say
And how calm you had remained your child
Stillborn with no name
I remember the never ending summer rain
Ooh
Please don't let what was
Get in the way of what's next
Don't forget that what's to come hasn't come yet
