it's a wonder

 

let's take a short tour of my long-term memory

there's somebody's car,

they're leaving,

we're left holding

the new door keys

we're moving in,

it's our first home,

and we're already

climbing the trees

we were monkeys

way back then

little monkeys

way back when

how old were we?

how old are we now?

how old will we ever be?

when, oh, oh, never mind comes over the hill

when, oh, oh, never mind comes around the bend

it's a wonder

our bones are still cracking

it's a wonder

our teeth are still clacking

it's a wonder

we can wonder at all

we can wonder at it all

there's the telephone,

it's ringing

we're all talking

on a party line

we're moving on,

it's party time,

and we're already

swinging, swinging, swinging free

there's my memory,

it's fading

I'm forgetting

everyone's name

I'm moving up,

back to the trees

and I'm already

slipping away
