Barges
CAmCAm
1. Me and my brother returned to the water,
CEmFC
I saw a pike that was two feet long.
AmCAmC
Two small magicians, each with a jam jar
AmCGAm
cast spells on the water with hazel twig wands.
CAmCAm
2. Country boys catch tadpoles, dive into water,
CEmFC
made shy by their laughter, we wondered down stream.
AmCAmC
And summer rolled o?er us with no complications,
AmCGAm
sat thinking of Mama, sometimes in dreams.
CAmCAm
3. Stand by the drawbridge waiting for barges,
CEmFC
waiting around for smiles from the man.
AmCAmC
Lifting the bridge whilst watching the horses,
AmCGAm
dragging the slow boats up the can*l.
CAmCAm
4. I do remember the times but no number,
CEmFC
after the day, but before evening comes.
AmCAmC
Waiting for castles and kettles with roses,
AmCGAm
painted on barges that sailed into the sun.
