Rocking Horse - Purson

Look here, picture if you can

An old photograph in my hand

Gaze in, remember if you can

Hazy days, far away lands

By the river we played side by side

With a tree trunk and a tune

Drawing the scene on an etch-a-sketch

Loaned by a friend of a friend you once knew

I’ll buy you a rocking horse

Take you to places you knew before

Time left us blind with old newspaper eyes

And when paper money

Was less than exciting and yet coins were inviting

Like silver suns

Look here, picture if you can

An old photograph in my hand

In our own secret garden we play

I the spider, you the fly

Counting the woodlice that crawl at our feet

Don’t ask when, don’t ask where, don’t ask why

I’ll buy you a rocking horse

Take you to places you knew before

Time left us blind with old newspaper eyes

And when paper money

Was less than exciting and yet coins were inviting

Like silver suns

Time left us blind with old newspaper eyes

And when paper money

Was less than exciting and yet coins were inviting

Like silver suns
