A song looking back at young love and dreams. You catch a video of Behind the Barn on YouTube.

Although this is an old song on her first album, Cheryl started performing it again in 1993, especially when she has someone else to perform it with her. She has performed it for the On a Winter's Night tour, as well as the Philo Anniversary Tour.

  • Behind The Barn
  • Words And Music By:
  • Cheryl Wheeler

  • Didn't we come far, haven't we been there
  • Weren't we something way back when
  • Didn't we wonder how would we come here
  • Trading our dreams so they'd never end
  • All those sweet dark nights where the warm air sings
  • We could close our eyes stretching still folded wings
  • Waiting for the rain to cool us
  • Feeling like a couple of foolish young things
  •  
  • Weren't they good times didn't our hearts bind
  • Didn't we both find something new
  • Fleeting impressions, timid expressions
  • Tossed in the tangle of me and you
  • And if I close my eyes, I can almost see
  • Moving through those green fields where we used to be
  • The shadow of a different daydream
  • Holding in the distance and waiting to breathe
  •  
  • Dusty roads, starry skies
  • Beating hearts, reluctant eyes, summer rain without a storm
  • And nervous love behind the barn
