Songs that Remind me of my Childhood

by line dry only

you hear me first
when cotton ball clouds and
the crisp burnt leaf smell of autumn
envelope you

there is an ice cream shop
on the main street of a town
where when you were young,
you went to restauraunts and
ate with your father
now you get your hair cut
with your mother
and shop
there is no more ice cream

you can't remember the name of the place
where you first tried superman
and it tasted like

linda ronstadt, julianna raye and a future nicole blackman's
words do
and there was cold air conditioning
and a bell on the door
with oldies music playing

sittin on the dock of the bay
watching the tide roll away

you think out loud
and wonder why the rest of the world
doesn't think out loud too
