Queen of the Backyard

Tripping over tree trunks, running through the weeds Dandelions sing to the faeries in the willow trees Barefoot in the backyard, ruling like a queen Holding court with the clover and the summer breeze Travel the world in the space of a day Music is a sound, not an inkblot on a printed page A stick is a wand, and a blanket is a cape And weird is just a word, not a thing that brings you shame Mighty is your joy, mighty is your joy Blissful unaware of the growing pain stings Little girl-boy, little girl-boy Singing to the witch in the piano strings Revel in the joy of mid day things Caterpillar spells turn to butterfly wings Back when the world was sticky and sweet The day was like a table laid for you to eat Way back then your favorite color was green Just a pixelated world through the lens of an old porch screen Front row seats to the thunder and the rain Back before you knew anything about pain Mighty was your joy, mighty was your joy Blissful unaware of the growing pain stings Little girl-boy, little girl-boy Keep singing to the witch in the piano strings I'm coming back for you... I'm coming back for you I'm coming back for you... I'm coming back for you I never really needed an invisible friend Scratches and scrapes a mother's kisses could mend Fumbling with flowers and singing to the stones With nobody around to make me feel alone Mighty was my joy, mighty was my joy Blissful unaware of the growing pain stings Little girl-boy, little girl-boy Singing to the witch in the piano strings
