From the recording Colorwheel
Lyrics
She always says she can’t remember
Because that was a long time ago
The days sailed on by in the blink of an eye
And she’s forgotten the face of that beau
But every year’s sun in September
Shines a light on an age worn page
And the colorwheel turns on a pin and reveals
What the clouds have been hiding away
Heads up
She’s turning her eyes to the sky
And now it’s flooding back in and the memory washes her mind
A bright yellow watch in his pocket
A wool suit that smelled like the hay
A red apple Sunday, a flower in his button hole snatched
And she’s running away
But every evening sun in September
Sheds a light on an age worn page
And the colorwheel turns on a pin
And reveals what the clouds have been hiding away
Heads up
She’s turning her eyes to the sky
And now it’s flooding back in and the memory washes her mind
Some kind of trouble in the harbor that morning
Put all the fellas in a serious mind
Two days later they laid down their tools
And signed their names on the dotted line
Heads up
She’s turning her eyes to the sky
And now it’s flooding back in and the memory washes her mind
She always says she can’t remember
Because that was a long time ago
The days sailed on by in the blink of an eye
And she’s forgotten the face of that beau
