[verse 1]
way back where the lilies bloom
on a sunday afternoon
she said, “i recall that too”
when the sun was high at noon
young men stopped from work to stare
young ladies, flowers in their hair
she said, “i recall that too”
on a sunday afternoon

[chorus]
post+dated passports, folds of leather and lint
brown paper parchment wrapped in pages of print
tags of a hero, metals forged in the fire
memories she lets go in her candle garden

[verse 2]
she’s not scared, she’s not afraid
of her life by candlеlight
dreams of fear disappear into shadows
darknеss covering the night
falls on deep green garden walls
there’s a peace the springtime brings
when the rain begins to fall

[chorus]
post+dated passports, folds of leather and lint
brown paper parchment wrapped in pages of print
tags of a hero, metals forged in the fire
memories she lets go in her candle garden
[bridge]
by trellis gate
a beacon glows, a candle waits alone
there for the one
prayers to a god
a soldier’s face
and through the haze a distant gaze she meets
and for a while
reunited

[verse 3]
way back where the lilies bloom
on a sunday afternoon
she said, “i recall that too”
when the flags were raised at noon
young women stopped to hear them say
“brave heroes coming home to stay”
she said, “i recall them too”
sunny sunday afternoons
