All Our Love - Shawn Phillips

And why should we

Want to go back where we were

How many years could that have been?

And why should we

Want to live a life that’s past

And nevermore will ever be

Aren’t you happy now with all the things you have around your life?

Your newborn child

Your grandchildren

Your loving loyal wife

Is it your tax and debts and moneyed threats

And violence in your life

The threat of being thrown in jail

And hated out of spite

But why couldn’t we

Create the age we want to hav

Without the memory?
