For Alice

Every day somebody needs you
the harder you breath
the harder the drum
so meet me by the pool light
a quarter to midnight
i promise i won't let you drown

still i know, we're only strangers running
like shadows that corner the night
take me back to where i was
take me back to where i was dreamin' of summers

i'm learnin' in life
the harder you need
the harder the fall
so meet me by the street light
you know the one, the white bike
for alice who left us to soon

just humble my heart
your smell on my skin
your sounds in the dark
i'll meet you by the moon light
across the canyon camp side
to mellow our minds, it's a starry night
to mellow our minds, it's a starry night

still i know, we're only strangers running
like shadows that corner the night
take me back to where i was
take me back to where i was
take me back to where i was
dreamin' of summers of wonder
