In my mind I recall Johnson Pasture It's etched a warm memory On that blanket we'd listen to songbirds Beneath the Magnolia Tree
You’re not here when I wake to the present Long ago someone stole you away But you’ll run down the hill through the flowers In my dreams for the rest of my days
Love was sweet by that stream in the pasture Tender lips came alive merged with mine And I got so entangled forever Two hearts became one of a kind
Our sweet rendezvous, now it's only for parking On a mall where no blooms are a part While old pavement from Portland hides Johnson Pasture It's alive and still real in my heart
