Out of the woods I fetch twigs and string
You, my friend, are lost
Down at the river bank, drifts away
Little boat sinking down under the weight
She’ll give it all away
The glow and the laughter
She’s green and young and dumb
and growing older each day
And I live to watch her play
Swinging her legs out now over the edge
You can’t change my mind
Deep and it’s dark and the water is cold
The wood of the deck is sound
Will hold
She’ll give it all away.
The roll on the hillside
She’s earthed and versed
and old and growing older each day
And I live to watch her play
