my little mind was singing
green bottle hillsides all along the train
would we fall off into the sea?
I knew where the water's edge was
I knew where the water's edge was

get back if the boat would turn turtle
put on a thin pair when it got just so hot out there
Sunday best clothes in the middle of the week
wore the label through the buttonhole
I was afraid that I'd never belong
I was afraid that I'd never belong

sad strange lines looking back over us again
I knew she only asked for one
but my sister couldn't bear to part from my hand
my sister couldn't bear to part from my hand
counterpane caught alight
you'll never know which one to put out
