about

Let's be grown up some other day. Come out and play.

lyrics

Come to the corner
Mom said I could meet you there
I’ll be the one with the dirty face
And nappy hair

You be the one
with the sun dress and saddle shoes
We’ll spend the morning
Watching Saturday cartoons

My turn to hide
Cover your eyes, that isn’t fair
Avoid hot lava
As we climb from chair to chair

We’ll ride our bikes
or fly a kite this afternoon
‘til then we’ll build a fort
up in my room

can you come out and play
can you come out and play with me
these thoughts can surely ruin a Saturday
and I won’t run away
if you’ll stay with me

can you come out and play
I want you to stay with me
We’ll keep the tears at bay
And be grown up some other day
If you’ll stay with me

Out in the yard
There are still
miles left to explore

Cut through the hedge
To see the world
That is next door

Under the rocks
The land where salamanders rule

We’ll plan on
Never going back to school

I can think back on all my sunny Saturdays
And all the memories still part of me today
I remember the day that I first learned to tie my shoes
That was the day
That you escaped the Khmer Rouge
