Valley Road '86
From behind the sliding glass doorWe were constructing a cureFor what you'd lost todayAnd would soon have to give awayThe backyard had a curseWe stole cigarettes from Mari's purseAnd smoked them allBy the big rock down the streetYour jean jacket had a frayed collarOn that midnight shopping trip that Christmas EveWe'd lie on your bed and talk for hoursI never thought you'd have to leave meThere's diamonds in the eyesOf little girls that learn to justifyTremendous lossTremendous livesIn the morning after nights when I'd sleep overWe'd walk down the hill and take the bus to schoolValley Road 1986 DecemberI never will forget youI never will forget you bothI never will forget
