Playing In Time With Lucas

Why don't you play look the clouds are made of silk today and there, there in a space of somewhere a bird I saw dancing in the air and the sun has so many things to say all you have to do is follow my gaze Why don't you come and play In this garden every stone is a diamond listen to the trees they are never silent over there, over there the the wind sang something into your hair so hard to contain this sunlight stare let it rain, it's all the same, let's go out and play and the bare foot muddy puddles splash and my barbarian smile just doesn't care Every trick is a fascination all half formed words which have no meaning to them and left alone in a constant chatter hums some musical tone of communication I'll pay you a visit all of sudden just to interrupt your singular seated silence What shall we do, think of a game, come on lets do something, lets play Put me in the swing, I want to scream and sit in the rhythms while the world is rocking and the skies slide by before my eyes and sleepy holds me gently sleepy drifting within a million things as new as a surprise how everything seems It's that time I remember is always the same what shall we do today grabs my attention with every second I know, come one, let's go out and play something different another one repeated along with this butterfly concentrated and curiosity to do something with them The world is scattered where interest abandoned and the sun has so many things to say all you have to do is follow my gaze Why don't you come and play
