Memorial Day Lyrics

It's Memorial Day

And I remember aluminum cans

In the cooler

In the garden we bathed

I remember a group of us carved

Our footprints

In the mud by the gate

I remember your foot on my shoulders

Over the fence

In the water we played all night

'til the cops came by

And we escaped

My memories have shortened

Not sure what's important

But in the years since

We got older

We still got that

That summer

It's Memorial Day

And I'm still here with the weight of the present

Upon me

All the time that we gave

I'm still here feeling late for the moment

That's coming

Since there's no time to waste

I'm still here

Got my feet on the pavement

I'm ready
