sitting in an old tire
swinging on a rope
while leaf fairies twitter
from a tired old oak

Billy plays his dads guitar
and gives me a sparkling glance
says he's gonna be a star
and asks me to the dance

we were teens a-runnin' wild
in love since we were five
Billy called me "honey-child
and made me feel alive

then we split for nigh a year
thought we'd run around
the time had made us both pay dear
'cause we was trouble bound

now we two came back together
as the storm clouds did subside
and now the sunny weather
finds Billy at my side!

It was just a thought which made them run. It was just an act that killed them.

from a tired old oak'..love that line.
