Chartiers

You were down when I met you, but

Deep in your eyes 

I could see the sign

With a thousand drummers drumming,

And a hundred singers singing songs of love.

Whatever they knew about it

Love

Whatever it meant to them



So we all met up after school

And you took us home into your room

You's skip class and drummed all day

So I put my books down and picked up the camera

Was it you that I filmed?



You'd run

And I'd follow

I'd stayed and you'd gone



She was in Chicago where the streets are paved

With all those names of our heros 

And our dreams we tried

But the house was raised 

And left an empty lot



I know that you won't cry about it

Hiding

Hiding the tears in your eyes



You'd run

And I'd follow,

I've stayed and you've gone



So far in late October

The nights are darker without you here
