Barefoot
skip in a pocket full of sand
Thorns and thistles and a nickel in a hand
You were the child wore
the ribbons in her hair
I was the child so free from cares
Toes in the dust, walkin' down the road
I kissed you on the lips so
ruby and bold
Feather in your eyes, hair spun gold
Chilly old wind, you didn't tell a soul
Chilly old wind,
you didn't tell a soul
In a little while,
we will know what secrets break
In a little while, they will show us everything
On a milk white night, secret was told
Down in the hollow home
where nobody goes
Frightened like the leaves,
flying like the crows
We were young and we'd never grow old
We were young and we'd never grow old
Do -do -do -do -do -do -do
Do -do -do -do -do -do -do
Do -do -do -do -do -do
-do
Goldenrod's trees all in a row
Your face was soft as falling snow
A cottage made of cameos
Pretty little ponies by the
side of your home
Pretty little ponies by the side
of your home
But when the autumn has taken our wings
With tiny hands and apron strings
Windy days and the fires to share
Pretty little chil dren
roaming everywhere
Pretty little children and a bundle of
cares
In a little while they will
know what secrets bring
In a little while, they will show
us everything
Da, da, da, di, di, di, di, di..
