Lyrics

[female

vocals] (

Soft,

mellow

electric

guitar

riff,

slowly

fading

in

with

a

deep,

walking

bassline) (

Warm

Hammond

organ

swells

in

the

background)

We

were

barefoot

babies,

runnin'

down

that

red

dirt

road

Laughin'

in

the

rain,

with

dreams

too

big

to

hold

Mama

said "

you

two

too

small,"

but

our

hearts

knew

better

We

wrote

our

names

together

in

every

kind

of

weather

Those

golden

days,

they

linger

in

the

haze

of

my

mind

Leaving

all

the

worries

of

the

grown-up

world

behind

Just

a

boy

and

a

girl,

with

nothing

but

the

sky

above

Falling

in

the

cradle

of

our

first

sweet

love

Oh,

Ibuomie,

my

childhood

lover,

you

been

mine

since

way

back

when

Oh,

Ibuomie,

my

childhood

lover,

I

wanna

love

you

o'er

again

We

ain't

just

lovers,

baby,

we

were

playmates

first,

way

back

then

Oh,

Ibuomie,

my

childhood

lover,

I

wanna

love

you

o'er

again

You'd

braid

my

hair

under

that

old

ukana

tree

I'd

save

my

akara

just

to

share

with

thee

Time

tried

to

scatter

us

like

harvest

chaff

in

the

breeze

But

our

roots

were

tangled

deep,

stronger

than

the

willow

trees

I

remember

the

way

you

looked,

staring

at

the

moon

so

bright

Promising

you'd

hold

me

close

through

the

darkest

night

Years

have

come

and

gone,

moving

at

a

fevered

pace

But

I

still

find

my

heaven

looking

at

your

face

Oh,

Ibuomie,

my

childhood

lover,

you

been

mine

since

way

back

when

Oh,

Ibuomie,

my

childhood

lover,

I

wanna

love

you

o'er

again

We

ain't

just

lovers,

baby,

we

were

playmates

first,

way

back

then

Oh,

Ibuomie,

my

childhood

lover,

I

wanna

love

you

o'er

again

They

say

childhood

flames

are

bound

to

flicker

and

die

But

look

at

us

now,

baby,

under

this

same

indigo

sky

The

world

might

have

changed,

and

we’

ve

grown

older

and

wise

But

I

still

see

that

little

boy’

s

wonder

inside

of

your

eyes

Yeah,

the

rhythm

of

my

heart

beats

steady

for

you

Still

the

same

two

kids,

making

all

our

dreams

come

true

So

take

my

hand,

walk

with

me

down

the

lane

once

more

We’

ve

got

a

lifetime

of

secrets

stored

behind

the

door

I

don’

t

need

no

silver,

I

don’

t

need

no

shiny

gold

Just

your

hand

in

mine,

until

we

both

grow

old

The

blues

might

call,

but

they

don't

sing

for

me

and

you

Not

when

I’

m

holding

onto

the

love

that

we

always

knew

Ibuomie,

my

darling,

my

heart

is

yours

to

keep

Before

I

close

my

eyes

and

drift

away

to

sleep

Oh,

Ibuomie,

my

childhood

lover,

you

been

mine

since

way

back

when

Oh,

Ibuomie,

my

childhood

lover,

I

wanna

love

you

o'er

again

We

ain't

just

lovers,

baby,

we

were

playmates

first,

way

back

then

Oh,

Ibuomie,

my

childhood

lover,

I

wanna

love

you

o'er

again

Yeah,

you

been

mine

since

way

back

when

My

childhood

lover,

let’

s

do

it

all

over

again

Just

you

and

me,

baby

Ibuomie… (

Harmonica

a

organ

chord) (
