I used to have more Freckles

I used to have more Freckles.

I suppose I quit spending so much time in the sun

When I was little they were something of a talking point, something to notice

When I was little I would marvel over them, show them off

I don't know when they started hiding

I suppose I quit spending so much time in the sun

I used to have more Freckles

I used to walk atop a fence, worriless

I used to sing loudly in public

I used to hang up my paintings

I used to have more Freckles

I suppose I quit spending so much time in the sun

I'm not sure when I started hiding

But I think I'm ready

to spend some more time in the sun
