Child On Parade

lyrics

by C.D. Onofrio

evening lays her head
across a bright red sky
slowly she then drops her dress
says, “honey don’t be shy”

I just stand and wave
like a child on parade
and dig my feet into the sand
as deep as they will take

it's gonna be a long time
feeling strong time
feeling that the deeper that the well goes
the deeper that the roots, roots are gonna go
I don’t even know, I don’t even know

out at the saloon
they're dancing on their chairs
the singer pours his heart out
spills it everywhere

i’m naked on the beach
underneath my clothes
i listen as the waves play
rhythms on my toes

it’s gonna be a long time...

hey there grandma moon,
is that a wink I see?
remember when you told that joke
i laughed so hard i peed

the stars are playing dice
and asking me to play
they know i’m not a gambling man
but what else could i say

it’s gonna be a long time
