Letra de Wack Jack
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
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
