From the recording The Shimmering Divide
Lyrics
When our love was young, and so full of promise
There was so much to come, up around the bend
A lottery won, safe, blissful and honest
I wish I could hold that feeling again
How did we drift so far from the sun
The days had a shimmer... when our love was young
The spring skies were bluer, the poetry truer
The mountains majestic, and loneliness rare
Now dreams have been mangled, like Christmas lights tangled
Flickering and dimming, like unanswered prayers
Now it feels late, and under the gun
It always felt early... when our love was young,
When our love was young
Back then I was careful, unburdened and cheerful
A hopeful and glowing rendition of me
How’d things get so hateful, dull and ungrateful
Craving clear moments of serenity
In a universe splintered, things all felt as one
I’ll warmly remember... when our love was young
