Running Red Lights - Memory Bells songtekst
Je score:
As I watch the snow fall over Boston, a silver white and blue I drink myself back to my youth and try to summon you And as the radiator hums a grown-up tune A memory, like a radio, is coming through A rose-colored window with a Sentimental view You and me high in the burning cold Bottle rockets fired up and ready to go I remember we were paranoid the whole damn world would blow Now every winter sky has tales to tell Every stormy night rings a memory bell Every snow drop soaking through my shoes The memory bells start ringin' and I'm back to you Tonight the sky is black as carbon and the stars are shinin' through The full moon smiles bright Polyester, insinuating June And while the radiator hums a grown-up tune A memory, like a radio, is coming through A rose-colored window with a sentimental view Rollin' on a blanket on a hot roof top Drinkin' whiskey out of empty cans of pop Drownin' out the world with your tape deck stereo Now every summer sky has tales to tell Every starry night rings a memory bell Sun kissed sidewalks burnin' through my shoes The memory bells start ringin' and I'm back to First moves and fixed eyes, And drawn-out goodbyes Back to the burn of longing bones When hearts stopped and lungs filled Under half moons on Summer hills Aching bodies and nothing in between Back to suitcase dreams and Friday plans To falling lace in nervous hands My sleeveless flowered dress on canyon floors Back before time turned on us And changed our minds and love to dust Before our wounds were too grown-up to mend Back before the scent of rain And startled memories in my brain Of last goodbyes and looks of soft regret Back before Every teary sky had tales to tell Every lonely night rang a memory bell Every raindrop kindled thoughts of you Before I needed memories to get back, I go back When July summer skies have tales to tell When ocean melodies rang a memory bell Every lazy Sunday afternoon Those memory bells start ringin' and I'm back to you
