We walk together through the park
Hold each other’s hands as we talk
So much unspoken along the way
So many years, yet so much
To say
Side by side on the swing-set
It seems like we were babies when we met
Before long you’re older with your own kids
Life makes it hard to realize
What you’ve missed
Pushing you on the merry-go-round
It’ not fun going round in circles now
We never had to worry about honesty
There’s so much I wish
You would tell me
Lying on our backs
Looking at the stars
Right beside each other
Together apart
Let’s go down the slide before we leave
Go back home to deal with reality
Age changes everyone a little bit
But it shouldn’t keep us
From starting again

A huge record for me. It helped me find a language to articulate what I wanted to say with my music. Bill is one of the best songwriters out there. You'll never be disappointed. Brent Stewart
