Swinging on his arm Songtext

von Mary Karlzen

Drive the car down the dirt road back behind the barn
Back where we used to hide
And run out on the fields, with those dogs fast on our heels;
I didn't know that those dogs would never bite
Catching bugs back by the light In the trees I see you hiding,
I see you hiding I'd give everything I own for a taste of yesterday
To hear my father calling out "Mary"
Well, I know just what he'd say
Back to the farm, we'd be out to the fields
And I'd be swinging on, swinging on his arm

Walk out to the prairie there, thinking we'd find God somewhere
He was nowhere to be found
Climb up on a haystack, have us a look around
Don't you know, not one tree broke the ground
And of all the things I miss, I can tell you, I can tell you this
I'd give everything I own for a taste of yesterday
To hear my father calling out "Mary"
Well I know just what he'd say
Back to the farm, we'd be out to the fields
And I'd be Swinging on, swinging on his arm
