michael walks with me
his legs are twice the size of mine
a leap to match his stride
and brush my thighs
what can you ask for?
lonely variety store
a crippled walk back now
lost time to make up more
Bonnie lit fires
her husband hides the leaves
i'd look up and balance
on left to right beams
dad's in the courthouse
mills stole our wealth
docked pave raybeams
ghost mourning our health
michael walks with me
twice my length
twice my age
soon i'll grow tall and he'll feel see the same way
soon i'll grow tall and he'll see it my way
