Childhood

''childhood faded away,

to a far away land,
simple, so simple were we,
days of play,
going our way,
having fun, no care,
for another day,
time for us stood still,
playing king of the hill
childhood faded away
thinking of another day,
summer time was fine,
when friends were kind,
swimming holes were filled,
our hearts were thrilled
childhood faded away
to a time that makes me sway
many years have passed away,
since childhood faded to another day,
childhood faded to places,
unknown to us
floating somewhere in time.''
