Lyrics
Kids are scratching up the walk Across the street and down the block I wish you'd stuck around to watch the night fall Smack your hands against the wall Louise Bogan and Robert Frost Popped off the shelf when you went through the door, singing "Years from today When your name is just a name And my love is a couple candles Twinkling on your cake That burn won't hurt you any more But I'll still keep your picture lying in a drawer" Kids are scratching up the walk Four letter words in rainbow colored chalk Raising up my eyebrows now Oh if only we could talk "Years away When you name is just a name You'll be counting up your pennies til I'm laughing in my grave Oh I know Years away When your name is just a name And my love's a couple candles Twinkling in your cake That burn Won't hurt you any more But I'll keep your picture Lying in a drawer" When I was a boy I could laugh at it Now I wonder how I got that hold on me When I was a boy I could laugh at it
