We Could Laugh

Oh how we would run
All around the table
Lost in the summer sun
Catching jars of fables
Finding jewels in the trees
While the doors were growing smaller
Marking time with gifts
Oh how swiftly change positions
We could laugh
We could laugh
We could laugh
I can remember
I can remember
Oh how we would walk
Dragging days before us
Locked in a waltz of keys
As the jailer made his entry
Picking stars from the night
With a reckless indecision
Save a board and dice
For the rain will fall at wrong times
We could laugh
We could laugh
We could laugh
I can remember
I can remember
Colour cards in our eyes
We could dance a thousand hours
Hard without a thought
That such skirts would hang so heavy
In the echo of the wind
We could hear the strident seagulls
All forgetting the time when the grass
Would turn up so quickly
We could laugh
We could laugh
We could laugh
I can remember
I can remember
