Carlisle Wheeling
by Michael Nesmith
This is in the key off the Missing Links version.
In a long and involved conversation with myself
I saw precious things come into view
When I poured through the files taken off my mental shelf
I dusted off some memories of you
Then I thought about the time when our affair was green
How the phoenix of our love first flapped its silken wings
All the urgency and passion of each new day as it happened
And how it all mellowed as it grew
