Creak, creak, creak,
creak
Feet they swing
hair flies free
How much higher
than you am I
we swing
we talk
we laugh
we dream
Creak, creak, creak
freak
stronger of soul
stronger of mind
stronger of voice
are you than I
shielding me
from worlds beyond
you scold
you console
you laugh
I dream
creak, creak, creak
break
how long is the silence
the intermission
the end
What does it mean to be a friend
you look
I look
we work
lost dreams
creak, creak, creak
creak
How long since childhood days
Are the swings still there
Do the winds still caress
running through young hair

foundations rust
chains break
fingers slip
I fall --
