trout fishing in america – back when i could fly lyrics
i used to be invisible,
a shape changing magic kid
i could move at the speed of thought
and frequently i did
but my greatest accomplishment
was a slow and looping glide.
i saw the tops of everything
back when i could fly
i’d take my daily nap
on the highest leafy branch
then follow shooting stars
on a comet’s firey lance
i was quite the prodigy,
when i owned the sky
i never thought i’d have to walk
back when i could fly.
keep your eye on the ball,
your feet on solid ground
always sit up straight and tall
and never make a sound
in just a few short years,
i learned not to be a child
and i forgot the things
i had when i was wild
now my child, you’ll learn arithmatic
coloring and sports,
you’ll have a flare for nouns and verbs
and be late with book reports
but inspite of all the rules
that bind your wings so tight
i hope you don’t forget about
the days when you could fly
i’d take my daily nap
on the highest leafy branch
then follow shooting stars
on a comet’s firey lance
i was quite the prodigy,
when i owned the sky
i never thought i’d have to walk
never had to try,
back when i could fly
