One for the Commonwealth

notes:
It may come as a surprise
That I remember your eyes
But how could I forget something
So pure and so deep
The last time I saw you
I was just starting out
I was hungry and restless
and I lived on the cheap
But it’s been a long time
Since now and those days
And I seem to have come out
Standing up on my feet
So let us call for one more round
Raise a glass to our health
Drink one for the days before
And one for the Commonwealth
Do you remember the old streets
Where we spent all our days
And the way the light died
Through the trunks of the trees
It was such a short time
But it’s here with me still
I often return there at night
In my dreams
Well I’ve had some good times
And some bad ones it’s true
But the times that come back most
Were those one’s I spent with you
Chours
Do you remember the park where
We used to get high
The alleys and the diners
And the feel of the air
Where we ever so young
We were never undone
We flitted about like a song
in the air
