This song is dedicated to mike Elliott.

lyrics

the night was your queen when you walked her streets
pitter patter down the alleys in your flip flop feet
you're stepping in time to your own heartbeat
when you were young
and one wrong turn could kill your lifelong dreams
cause the moment's always more decisive than it seems
but the puddles shone to guide you supernaturally
when you were young

gently, sweetly, the wind blows the elm trees
the leaves show their bellies and whisper
possibilities

Frank's Live Bait's just a beacon in the night
giving you the guts to put up one last fight
you're throwing punches in the dark, there's not a soul in sight
when you were young
and the transformer's hum could drive a man insane
but there's a keg party geiger counter in my brain
the night is one half potential and it's one half shame
when you were young

sweetly, softly, the crickets sing to nobody
you stumble home drunkenly and dream of
possibilities

your life is one half glory and it's one half pain
running buck naked through the pouring rain
you don't know quite where you're going, you're just trying to get away
when you were young
cause the night was your queen when you walked her streets
and the city throbs and pulses underneath your feet
but the future was as dizzy as the summer heat
when you were young
