Behind The Barn 
Words And Music By: 
Cheryl Wheeler 


Didn't we come far, haven't we been there 
Weren't we something way back when 
Didn't we wonder how would we come here 
Trading our dreams so they'd never end 
All those sweet dark nights where the warm air sings 
We could close our eyes stretching still folded wings 
Waiting for the rain to cool us 
Feeling like a couple of foolish young things 

Weren't they good times didn't our hearts bind 
Didn't we both find something new 
Fleeting impressions, timid expressions 
Tossed in the tangle of me and you 
And if I close my eyes, I can almost see 
Moving through those green fields where we used to be 
The shadow of a different daydream 
Holding in the distance and waiting to breathe 

Dusty roads, starry skies 
Beating hearts, reluctant eyes, summer rain without a storm 
And nervous love behind the barn
