All That Ever Could Have Been

[Verse 1]
My soul deteriorates at least
Beneath green alpine fields
Oh precious witness of my life
Don’t drag don’t fall behind

[Verse 2]
As heavy-hearted I collect
My thoughts to bring me back
To all that ever could have been
And to all that that was and will

[Verse 3]
Kind mothers
Mild summers
And log-eared albino bunnies

[Verse 4]
Green backyards
French postcards
And tender love for chocolate pop-tarts

[Verse 5]
Red cheeks
And white milk-teeth
Long shall we live to see this
