Do you want to remember
Those afternoons when we would go down to your parent's pond?
The water was brown and
We'd swim around in it up on the surface where the water was warm
Can I pick you up to go to the valley
Where the river flows so cool and so smooth
We could go swimming down in the black water
Climb the rocks and bathe in the sun
And what of those dark nights under the bright lights
The pinpricks that flew from the growing black
Up on that hill, so wrapped and still
We wondered if things would ever change
Can I pick you up to go to the valley
Where the river flows so cool and so smooth
We could go swimming down in the black water
Climb the rocks and bathe in the sun
Those nights we'd go driving
When you'd always ask if we should pull over to save the gas
That was then, way back when times were slow
But my mind was slower still
Can I pick you up? I know it'll cost me
But I sure love the feel of that steering wheel
I know what you'll say, save it for another day
For once the times have done their changing again
