Iridescent Shadows - Kevin Johnson

I remember warm Septembers

Creeping down an August highway

And a worn-out, trusted buddy, someone called a car

And I remember Queensland backroads shining in the sun

Like the million stars

Shining in our eyes for the things we’d never done

But meant to

Bobby Jones and Billy Soames

Cousin Joe were there beside me

Sharing good luck stories and the secrets of the sun

Hanging on to nothing more than good times yet to come

Till September days

Went their separate way

And thought they came again

They never seemed the same

Looking back on the pages of our lives

Wishing we could live them all again

Have you ever noticed that the many things we never noticed

Always seem much better when we’re looking back at them

And I wonder, were those days as good as I remember

Or am I looking through the rainbows in my mind again

Do I see the coloured chapters of my life

Lying there

Or just the iridescent shadows of some black and white affairs?
