Just A Boy

The last days in May before summer lay claim

Back in the school yard, we made up a game

Now is always, is always the same

Too bad always always ends



I remember

I remember when

But I was just

Just a boy then



Innocent envy without compromise

Recommendations all ill advised

Tall tales and little white lies

The truth had to bend



I remember

I remember when

But I was just

Just a boy then



Now that we're tall and all grown

A house, a car lives of our own

We put off but we can't postpone

The way we become men



I remember

I remember when

But I was just

Just a boy then
