Annie Moscow: Songs

Little Boy Little Girl

(Annie Moscow)

I was once your little girl

And you were once my little boy

We traveled all around the world

And settled on the Isle of Joy

Where we laughed and danced - we said

How did we end up here

Where everything our hearts desired would just

Falls into our hands

 

It would fall

Like the gentle rain

That flowed into our hearts and veins

Electrifying 

Everything we’d do

It would fall

Like the mountain stream

That touched on every hope and dream

As we dreamed 

The dream of me and you

 

Time went by and how we tried

To hang on to those precious years

But time can be a prison
When you let the magic turn to fears

So we’d hurt each other - You said

How did I end up here

I said Isn’t that my heart’s desire

You’re crumpling in your hand

Then we’d fall

Like little kids

You’d say I don’t I’d say you did

And we’d scrape our knees and go a round or two

We’d just fall

To the same old tune

And blame it on the mean old moon and go on

With the dream of me and you

 

Now you won’t be my little boy
And I won’t be your little girl

Surrounded by these little toys

That make pretend this little world

But I wonder

Where do we go from here

When everything our hearts desired

Is just falling into pieces

 

It just falls

And an angry star

Comes crashing down and all we are unravels

No matter what we do

It just falls

And the winter rain beats against my heart again

That’s all

 

It just falls

And the pent-up rain

Comes pouring through an open drain

Just beating down on everything we do

It just falls

And we fall apart

Your tracks surround my broken heart

I still love you
