Parked in the fields all night
So many years ago
We saw a lake beside us
When the moon rose
I remember
Leaving the ancient car together
I remember
Standing in the white grass beside it
We groped our way together
Downhill in the bright, incredible light
Beginning to wonder
Whether it could be lake or fog we saw
Our heads ringing under the stars
We walked to where our feet would have been wet
Had it been water

Wow, I remember this!
It's very different without the music - I didn't even realize some of those words were in there.
I think Mr. Holtz left some of the original words out. I should check, I still have the sheet music.
