High

Back then we were breaking rules
Taking chances skipping school               
Who cared if everyone thought we were fools?                             

Smoking grass gettin high
Wasting time just gettin by
Who’d have thought being young was so hard to do?
I couldn’t  have made it through without you

Reel to reels college days
We were smart, we had things to say
Who was listening except me and  you?  

What’s that you always said?
“Who we are is what’s in our heads”
We took for granted that could be true
How did I fall from the graces of a friend like you? 

Teeter totters summer days
Rain and wishes wash away
My children are grown - what happened to you?

Here I stand  on my own
Who’s a friend? Who’s a foe?
I could use a new angel to give me a view
Lift me up high from this place, someone like you
