Peel Away
When I was a boy I lived on a city street with other boys just like me
young and unaware of the differences of each other’s childhood dreams.
When the fence hit his face the ball rolled into the goal without mercy
Yeah the game ended then but he carries the scar above his left eye to this day.
Lost memories are only a moment away Peel away, peel away, peel away, peel away
Halloween came and I pretended to be ill
Big kids ruled the sidewalks when the streetlights came on Shaving cream and eggs were the weapons of choice
No one was safe from the roaming bands of course
I saw him try to run but his sister ran him down Tough love was the way in that town
She laughed so loud as he was pinned to the ground The moment sure gathered a crowd
Lost memories are only a moment away Peel away, peel away, peel away, peel away Peel away, the layers of time, peel away
Seven years turned on North Shore Chicago I went to visit my childhood friend
They grew up fast in the md 90’s
Being swayed by a great lake’s breeze
I remember watching as they packed their car He was moving to the gulf it seemed so far
He said good-‐bye to all he knew
And a girl that did what no one else would do
Lost memories are only a moment away Peel away peel away, peel away peel away Peel away the layers of time,
Buried deep in your mind, peel away
peel away, peel away Peel away, peel away Peel away, peel away
