Stevie B and Me

Stevie, we were free, Stevie, you and me, On that golden day, Was it '68? The decade's last few days, The whole wild world was crazed, But where we were was peace, For you and me at least.   If I stop for a moment, I dream groves and country paths, Green's Albatross is playing In this our past, Whole empires were falling, The old ways were fading fast, Things never last, But you and I Found pleasant peace at last.   We weren't friends for long, These things aren't too strong, We were far from home, Together less alone, We drifted far apart, Hardened up our hearts, We had so far to fall, Four years took their toll.   We walked and talked For many hours, Safe under Blue Berkshire Skies.   Stevie, we were free Like we'd never been, On that halcyon day, Stevie B and me. The decade's last few days, The whole wild world was crazed, But where we were was peace For you and me at least. (This is a song lyric written in 2003, reflecting back on my school days.)
