Lyrics
Verse 1
Everybody’s got a place they go,
Yeah, a place to ease the pain, real slow,
Memory’s like a letter, long ago —
It heals my heart when I’m feeling low…
(A A B)
Chorus] [(12‑bar blues)
Clear Ponds, oh, them willows so shy, [(I)]
Standing quiet by the water, don’t make no cry, [(I)]
Green dream of the ages, way up high, [(IV)]
Childhood shore — Lord, I wanna fly, [(I)]
Where that old accordion’s sighing, oh my, why… [(V–I)]
Verse 2
I rush back there, where the light is kind,
Boats on the water — sunspots in my mind,
We left this place behind, years unwind,
Now I’m back again — you’ll come in time…
(A A B)
(Chorus repeats — same 12‑bar structure)
Verse 3
One day you’ll walk that boulevard ring,
In your memory, baby, we’ll meet, I sing —
Waters show your face, same old thing,
Heal my heart, ease this aching sting…
(A A B)
(Chorus repeats)
Verse 4
Yeah, everybody’s got that place so dear,
Far away, but it gets near each year,
Air’s so sweet, the world feels clear,
Makes you young again — just for a year…
(A A B)
(Outro — slow, soulful, with improvisational feel)
Clear Ponds… them willows… so shy…
By the water… don’t you cry…
Green dream… long and high…
Childhood shore… Lord, I wanna fly…
That accordion… still sighing…
Oh, Lord… still sighing…
