The Girl In The Keyhole

Take me back to that girl in the keyhole,
take me to my childhood vacation;

Take me back to the sand dunes,
take me to that old mini golf course;
I’d surely hit another hole in one;

Take me back to a Top Forty sound,
take me to the bliss before algorithms;

Take me back to the mid Atlantic coast,
take me back to a familiar shoreline;
For sure I’d find my feet again;

Take me back to that innocence,
take me to the ease of those days;

Take me back with a sunburn
then take me out for ice cream;
Take me back to the year in that keyhole,
take me back to a simpler time.
