Back To The Future

Do you remember our future?
Well, I do
We saw the arrow from the archer
Aiming true
The plans we made and promises
The love we swore we always would renew
If we could go back to the future
Would you?

The day you brought home a Silver Princess 
In a pot
I helped you plant it by the back fence
The perfect spot
All that summer, every eve
You watered it and sang to make it grow
Now that tree nods to strangers
We’ll never know

Pleasures are like poppies spread
You seize the flower, the bloom is shed
Or like the snow falls on the river
A moment white – then gone forever

The plans we made and promises
The dreams we never thought would not come true
If we could go back to the future
If we could go back to the future
If we could go back to the future
Would you?
