Lyrics by Robert Intini

I’ll bring home the bacon
If you keep the flame on high
I’ll keep the juices flowing
If you keep me warm and dry
And when you are mistaken
I promise not to ask you why
We could be so happy…

I’ll keep the flowers coming
If you watch not to burn the sauce
I’ll keep the engines running
If you keep the ship on course
We’ll watch the stars all glowing
In our connect the dot sky
We could be so happy…
Living in a perfect lie

Day by day
We always find another way
To make ourselves strong
But time can be a friend who stays too long
And then its all wrong

I’ll be the one you can follow
If you promise not to fall behind
I’ll be the pill you can swallow
When you need something to unwind
We’ll keep our best side showing
And deliver another hand-picked alibi
We will be so happy…
Living in a perfect lie

you never forget the look in her eyes
you never forget the way she cries
you never get away
no matter what you may try

you never forget the smile on her face
you never forget the time or the place
it never slows down
no matter how much you race

there is nowhere to hide, no place to run
no time to wonder what you have done
there is no one to answer, nowhere to turn
no time to practice what you have learned

you never forget the sound of her name
you never forget the feeling of pain
it never washes away…
no matter how much it rains

Please stay a little longer
In this time meant just for us
Before the winds of change blow stronger
And takes you away from us
You can’t slow time or keep
The dominos from falling
Keep a part of yourself that never grows old
When the world comes calling

Jump in a puddle
Catch a snowflake on your tongue
When the world comes calling
It will always keep you young

You can do all you can to make it last
Hoping it won’t quickly become part of your past
You can turn your head and act unaware
But what once was and still is…is going nowhere

You can only hold on for so long
But every one of us dance to the same old song
You can turn your back and just look away
But what once was and still is…is here to stay

One day you wake up and see
It’s always been a fait accompli
The end of magic and make believe
When eyes of wonder surrender to reality

Please stay a little longer
In this time meant just for us
Before the winds of change blow stronger
And takes you away from us
You can’t slow time or keep
The dominos from falling
Keep a part of yourself that never grows old
When the world comes calling
It always comes without a warning
When the world comes calling

Who is watching the children
Who is cleaning the barn
Who is watching the grill when
the old woman is spinning her yarn
Nobody ever stops to think
When do the horses drink

Who makes sure the doors are tight
Who decides theirs before ours
Who puts out the trash at night
When you’re dreaming under the stars
Someone thinks someone else will blink
And when do the horses drink

A rumbling chorus
thunders down the road
Up, around and under
All the moments you are owed

You think the day is coming
You think you’ll have the time
To stop the clock from running
And make the words all rhyme
Every delay takes you to the brink
and when do the horses drink

when you open your eyes
from a carousel of dreams
when the wind rushes through
the willow trees
remember me…

in the first light of morning
and when your room is dark at night
when your mind is clear
and your thoughts wander free
remember me…

you were always in my heart
young as the first day
and near as the longest miles apart

think of me on a rainy night
many years from now
whisper my name in the dark
and I will hear it somehow
think of the moments we smiled together
and the good things we dreamed of…
think of that feeling that lasts forever….
and remember love
