I danced as a child
I loved as a child
I laughed as a child
I loved as a child
I laughed as a child
Now as an adult
I am dominated by the fear
I learned as a child
Now as an adult
I am dominated by the fear
I learned as a child
But that is plenty bright enough
In a whir of calm
And failing light
The river
Never stops
Splish splash
Boat at anchor
On the sea
Roly poly
Float the logs
Storms set free
Oh
The many beauties
Of ageing
