[-Years Before-]

This golden circle,
this shining band,
this meager treasure
in my left hand

It is my hope
against all doubts
It is a presence
I don’t live without

‘Cause life is an ember,
and love is a flame
as it burns for you
across an arid plain

I look above
I see the sky is blue
and in the wind
I still feel you

If I had been there
many years before
I’d be the boy
who put flowers in your hair

A windy day,
a rainy night,
raindrops falling
past the old street light

I walk alone,
I walk through the rain
to the constant
in my world of change

This golden circle,
this shining band,
it guides me through
as if you held my hand

But where were you?
Who was I?
Before the wind
brought back blue skies?

If I had been there
many years before
I’d be the boy
who put flowers in your hair
