See Saw

Mary Ann was my very best friend.

I did not want anything to change.

But change, it would come

Knocking on the door of an idyllic

Childhood - if only in my mind.

I did not want to leave my home

Where the cats played and the dog

Followed me to school and the woods

Were my wonderland.

But leaving, it would come

Knocking on the door of an idyllic

Childhood - if only in my mind.

I longed for benefit and holding on

Forever to all the pretty places and all

The pretty faces.

But letting go, it would come

Knocking on the door of an idyllic

Dreaming - if only in my mind.
