lyrics

unafraid that you will wake me
you come into my bedroom
to proclaim that it is morning

as if the sun were not enough
with your little fingers spread out
to repeat against my forehead

our bellies full of grain
we walk to the end of our street

and you want to go left
and so we go left

you grind the gravel
beneath the heel of your black patent leathers
and with their scuffed toes you kick at pine cones
which you find to be hilarious

holding my hand
you notice the hole

in the knee of your stockings
and you put your finger in it
getting bigger every minute

on the way back home you stop
and you do a little dance move
staring down at an ant bed

one crawls up your leg and you say
"i wonder if they dance, too?"

hope you grow up to be just like you
