This song is about my younger brother and I growing up adventurous little kids, roaming wild and free through the countryside. Its about looking at the world with eyes of wonder, fun and seeing new possibilities, yes we still can.
Lyrics
The wind (whistled) blew through the dappled trees, bringing fortune onto me
Bringing back those carefree days, when brothers roamed so free
Skimming pebbles out across the lake, colours yellow, brown and green
Sandwiches, flask, some fishing line, Huckleberry finn and me
(were blooming for the bumble bee, huckleberry finn and me)
Down the country lanes and byways, we’d ramble outside time
Chasing (seeking) golden rainbows, down the backroads of the mind
Digging deep for treasure, till we found the China Sea
2 small boys with grown-ups spades, huckleberry finn and me
Chorus
Remember the sky, we were the stars
You’d a six gun just like Jessey James, I was Crazy horse
Scraps of maps and treasure, in our tree house hideaway
Never thought we’d grow up, huckleberry finn and me
(you raced your 3 wheeled cycle against my tractor, on the old boreen)
A mile of country roadway, a journey fit for kings
Every ditch was ours to take, every blooming thing
Finding apples in O Leary’s field, the evening coloured in the day
Seeking out the unworn paths, where we could steal away
But time it waits for no-one, and we never take the time
To sing (laugh) and dance, and race and run like small boys in the sun
I watched the walls between us grow, where once they stood so low (we roamed so free)
One more time we’ll hop the wall, huckleberry finn and me
