Testo Memories

When I was a boy of eleven years I never saw my pa. Never understood what divorces were, I hadn't grown that far Loading our belongings on a little horse and cart Mama said that she and daddy were now apart These are the things I still remember from so long ago Going to the seaside once a year, castles in the sand. Going to the fairground with my pennies counted in my hand Going to the circus crying if I saw a clown. Walking on my six foot stilts and never falling down These are the things I still remember from so long ago Yelling at my brother, he's in hiding - won't play in the snow. Everything I do he just won't follow, doesn't want to go Playing in the fields pretending I'm a buccaneer. Threw a sword, accidentally hit him in the ear These are the things I still remember from so long ago Playing up the garden always building huts of turf and mud. Playing in the woods when an owl attacked me - mop away the blood Blowing up a rubber boat and patching up the holes. Falling in the water, dripping wet and catching colds These are the things I still remember from so long ago
