School

 

When I think of school

I see a fool

Standing in the wind

Beneath the sky

We gently lie

Waiting for the end

He stops to chat

With those who pass

On their daily way

And tries to catch

That wand’ring pass

Without the will to play

I know his name

This fool I claim

Withered b’yond his joy

It starts with “F”

And ends in “Y”

He knew it as a boy

But long ago

Before we know

It left him for the sky

And since that day

He’s had to pay

Without the will to try

But soon he’ll leave

And try to grieve

For all he’s left behind

The times we’ve had

The good the bad

And all that’s in our mind

And soon the day

Shall come and go

And all shall be as new

Until we say

O yeah, ya’ know…

And all shall be as new
