You would make your living

On the stilts of yellow pine

In the daylight drinking

Summer, 1979

Was it summer loving?

Two kids with twinkles in their eyes

Did you believe in magic?

Soon, you'd hear your babies cry (cry)

You told us of a light in your room

Could you feel us breathing inside you?

'cause we were breathing inside you

The 80's rushed you forward

With kids to occupy your time

On Yates avenue

Dust and dirt, whiskey and wine (wine)

You told us of a light in your room

Could you feel us breathing inside you?

'cause we were breathing inside you

Mother had a dream and

It changed the course our life would take

She was bussing tables

Counting change that she would make

You told us of a light in your room

Could you feel us breathing inside you?

'cause we were breathing inside you

Hold on to those photographs

You and your sister laugh

Smile as you're looking back

Pink Floyd and Paul McCartney

Billy Joel and Queen

They mix with the memories

You told us of a light in your room

Could you feel us breathing inside you?

'cause we were breathing inside you

Hold on to those photographs

You and your sister laugh

Smile as you're looking back, yeah

Pink Floyd and Paul McCartney

Billy Joel and Queen

They mix with the memories

You told us of a light in your room

Could you feel us breathing inside you?

'cause we were breathing inside you
