The clothes hung out on the line for weeks on end And it’d be just about time to take them in It’d rain again
I felt that way when I was looking for a pencil or a pen Now when the wind blows I can feel it drying my ancestors’ clothes
A day goes by and year by year we turn and say what have we here
Swing little girl, swing high And don’t ever look to the ground If you’re looking for rainbows look up to the sky You’ll never see rainbows if you’re looking down
Life can be dreary, it’s never the same Some days it’s sunshine and some days it’s rain
Swing little girl, swing high And don’t ever look to the ground If you’re looking for rainbows look up to the sky And never, oh never, look down
If it’s really all that easy... Why didn’t I see...?
