Wood

 

Wood

Wood

And the bugs climb

The blue scaled thing

Looks at me and I’m

Afraid to sing

At night the wall

Makes a funny sound

And that’s not all

The monster’s not around

To whisper fire

And paw your hand

To make you higher

Like a happy man

Wood, wood,

Remember that cold day

The fence kept me out, you in

And the sky was gray

But I didn’t think of sin

The blue scaled thing

Looked twice at me

Did anyone sing

As a wall grew quickly

Leaves were blowing then

Wonder if many eyes

Counted me among men

As the blue scaled monster flies

Wood, wood, wood

Would you like

Would you even chance

You don’t have to fight

You don’t have to dance

The blue scaled monster

Has a heart of gold

But recedes even further

As it grows old

The fiery eyes stare

From the blue scaled thing

Do you think it’ll care

If I sing?
