Home Before Dark-Michael Shynes

If we change our minds Can we change the leaves Back to colors we remember Cause I look for you Do you look for me In my little red suspenders I call for you now in the forest around When the whole world is falling apart The truth almost found before the sun would go down But Mom would say home before dark Each night In the overgrowth under the tallest trees That’s where I always felt protected With a branch in hand and you next to me We were what we manifested I call for you now in the forest around When the whole world is falling apart The truth almost found before the sun would go down But Mom would say home before dark Each night I think of you now with the forest around And the whole world is falling apart I’m holding your hand and we’re jumping again Like the summer when I broke my arm Every night just you and I A starry sky when we weren’t afraid of the dark The stillness found in the dead of the night And now I forgot where to start Where should I start
