Turtles and Toads

[intro] (*June…June…June…*) [Verse 1] When you were here, I swear I saw the dandelions waving. We ran through the weeds, Oh, didn’t know that time was passing. “Gimme attention! Just a little attention.” In the empty lot, With the crooked tree “Gimme affection, your sweet affection.” We napped and played, oh, We napped. and. played, o—oh [Chorus] Ahhh ahhh A-a-a-ah. The pale shingles, Thin and cracked-uh. Sagging rails, Split and rot-uh. Sun-washed hues Betray the age, Fragile remnants Of yesterday~ay~ay~ays. [Verse 2] Here I lay In that lot now, Trying to capture The days of old now. If you were here, I know you’d find how To fix the cold And take away The loneliness now ahhh. [Chorus] Ahhh ahhh A-a-a-ah. The pale shingles, Thin and cracked-uh. Sagging rails, Split and rot-uh. Sun-washed hues Betray the age, Fragile remnants Of yesterday~ay~ay~ays. [Verse 3] Come home soon, Don’t miss dinner. We’ll have spaghetti, Just the way you remember. Follow me, Show me your finger. I’ve got tweezers, I’ll pull the splinters [Chorus] Ahhh ahhh A-a-a-ah. The pale shingles, Thin and cracked-uh. Sagging rails, Split and rot-uh. Sun-washed hues Betray the age, Fragile remnants Of yesterday~ay~ay~ays. [Outro] Sing me a song, my girl If I know the words, I’ll sing along, my girl Sing me a song, my boy, If I know the words, I’ll sing along, my boy Sing me a song, my love If I know the words I’ll sing along…. Sing me a song, my love If I know the words I’ll sing along….
