Paroles My whole life in a memory Mikol Frachey

My whole life in a memory

There’s a place where you can always spot a plane
Right where the sun sinks in
Just look at your left
Behind the big white crest

You can start to smell the perfume of the smoke
Out of the chimneys in the fall
And meet your family
Around the table in the hall

If your children have to pick up the bus
They can wait at the fence in the front

CHORUS
Now all my life goes too fast
Sometimes I lose who I am
A part of me will always be buried in this backyard
Where we could be the pirates on a ship
Or the pilots of a plane
And never be sorry for our dreams
Now can you tell me how I could fit
My whole life in a memory

Pay attention when you play on the big Ole rock
Check the carabiners and the rope
I’m gonna leave you some
In the drawer of the storeroom

Then in June you can start to eat the cherries
Then plums and raspberries
Some of my best stories
Come right from those trees

I wish I could go back to those summer days
When happiness was fruit and a red old swing

CHORUS

And that little wooden upstairs room
It’s where I’ve learned to play guitar
The first time the price I pay for having feelings
Found its way to pages from my heart
And there’s a point on the handrail
Consumed by my hands
When I pretended it was a ballet bar
Teaching my grandparents how to dance

CHORUS
