From behind the sliding glass door We were constructing a cure For what you'd lost today And would soon have to give away
The backyard had a curse We stole cigarettes from Mari's purse And smoked them all By the big rock down the street

There's diamonds in the eyes Of little girls that learn to justify Tremendous loss Tremendous lives
In the morning after nights when I'd sleep over We'd walk down the hill and take the bus to school Valley Road 1986 December I never will forget you I never will forget you both I never will forget
