Childhood,
that's when laughing was easy,
remember?

Back when blue was our favorite color
And sheets, boxes and cushions
were the best toys,
and bedroom window was our television
for the outside world.

Back when the lost and lonely followed us home,
and we had two families
And running in the backyard
was a smell of sweet freedom.

Back when swimming in the creeks was alright
and tree swings were the greatest invention
and candies can make you laugh all day.

Back when stones, shells and coins were treasures
and simple words were the sweetest thought
that comes out of our lips.
and writing songs about a life we never knew
was almost a second nature,
that life was as good as it seemed.
