It’s Hard to Remember (How it Used to Be) (Idris Davies)

Remember how it used to be
Fighting almost constantly
Living together
Under one roof
I thought you were the devil
Just needed some proof
Its hard to remember how it used to be

Time is a friend to me
Treated me so patiently
The bumps and the scratches
Weren’t so hard
For me to see
Just who you really are
It’s hard to remember how it used to be

I saw the wings of an eagle
Up above me
Waiting to come and
Set on me
I lay anticipating
My time to come
But a wingless angel
She’d become

Now the sun shines permanently
We’re growing into a big old tree
Fruits ripe for eating
Come and take you pick
There ain’t no beating
Living like this
It’s hard to remember how it used to be
