Words and music by Dar Williams |
|
I won't forget when Peter Pan came to my house, took my hand |
|
I said I was a boy; I'm glad he didn't check. |
|
I learned to fly, I learned to fight |
|
I lived a whole life in one night |
|
We saved each other's lives out on the pirate's deck. |
|
And I remember that night |
|
when I'm leaving a late night with some friends |
|
And I hear somebody tell me it's not safe, someone should help me |
|
I need to find a nice man to walk me home. |
|
When I was a boy, I scared the pants off of my mom, |
|
climbed what I could climb upon |
|
And I don't know how I survived, |
|
I guess I knew the tricks that all boys knew. |
|
And you can walk me home, but I was a boy, too. |
