I Remember Lyrics - Maureen Mcgovern

I remember sky 

It was blue as ink 

Or at least, I think 

I remember sky 

I remember snow 

Soft as feathers, 

Sharp as thumbtacks, 

Coming down like lint 

And it made me squint 

When the wind would blow 

And ice like vinyl on the streets, 

Cold as silver, white as sheets 

Rain like strings 

And changing things 

Like leaves 

I remember leaves 

Green as spearmint, 

Crisp as paper 

I remember trees 

Bare as coatracks, 

Spread like broken umbrellas 

And parks and bridges, ponds and zoos, 

Ruddy faces, muddy shoes, 

Light and noise 

And bees and boys 

And days 

I remember days 

Or at least, I try 

But as years go by, 

They're a sort of haze 

And the bluest ink 

Isn't really sky 

And at times, I think 

I would gladly die 

For a day of sky
