weed whackers whine in the air,
chain-link fences hunched over,
Like rusted-out old men in unheard prayer.

The clock spins round its weary face
Time's a thief we can't replace

When the mirror cracks and the colors fade
When the songs we sang start to feel homemade
Will you still love me when the…

She struts in with a kick
A snap
A spin

Only in my dreams
You’re calling out my name
Running in the moonlight
Hear your laughter in the rain

Simpler Days is a ballad by drummer-Matt.
While I was mixing it the words caught me off guard and the song stirred up some emotional stuff that I'm hoping might come through for the wider listening public.
