Seventy-Four
The Slip

You were just a babynI was four years oldnPlaying war on my tricyclenWhen daddy got home, I'd jump into his armsnSomewhere in America time stood still nFor two little people on opposite hillsnAnd how were they to know?nnBut time moves quickly when you're standing in place nEat the same old breakfast, with the same old face, nThey send you off to schoolnnBefore I could see you nI was seeing a wholesome need for protection in everyone's soulnI was not uniquennNow, I think to be seventy-four with an old screen door nAnd a woman like you to walk through nWould be alright with mennI wanna lay with you under full moon glownStay warm in my sleeping bag,nLay down low nYou ease my way of mindnnEverything about you is bringing me joynI could spend long hours nBe your water boynYou know, you know nWhere I'll be foundnnSomewhere in the universe time stood stillnFor the man who remembered the boy on the hillnHow was I, how was I to know?nnAnd now,nI think to be seventy-four with an old screen door nAnd a woman like you to walk through to would be- nI, I think to be seventy-four with an old screen door nAnd a woman like you to walk through to would be alrightnI think to be seventy-four with an old screen door nAnd a woman like you to walk through would be alright with me
