about

This is a great song for Darren on the sax.

lyrics

Sat on a rooftop
Looked all around
The moon was high
Over my little town
Cars and street lamps
Just as far as the eye could see

Your kids were all playing
Out in the yard
Somebody saying
Don't you go too far
Climbing higher
To the wind up in the trees

But if you come around
Pieces of the sky come tumbling down
Don't you mind
Everything comes around in its own time

I wanted to tell you
Bout a dream that I had
You were here with me
And I was feeling so glad
Time had frozen
Nowhere else for us to be
