We Were Too Young

There was no season for your bloom,

Red rose you rose up to a desert moon

Pretty soon you made your way to town

And my dreams are shinin' right through your face

Your hair would blow but it would blow at a slower pace

Slower than the breeze would

I guess you blew away with the wind that went

I miss the way you laughed in the cold

Like a firefly your hair would touch the sun then shimmer

Mama told me love would come

We were too young

Now I'm nothin' but a lost West Texas storm

A coin outside on the ground by the grocery store

Tail's up, I got no kinda love to give

And you were the way to make things right

Settle of the wind on a long hot summer night

You were the one for me

But I guess you blew away with the wind that went

I miss the way you laughed in the cold

Like a firefly your hair would touch the sun then shimmer

Mama told me love would come

But we were too young

I can still taste the smoke on your lips that winter

I pray to God you're laughin' in the cold

And there are still fireflies but

They're the only things around here that shimmer

Mama told me love would come

But you chased your dreams, I cursed the sun

Sun, yeah

You chased your dreams, I cursed the sun

End
