when I was a boy one time I fell

climbing down from the carousel

I thought I heard somebody say

watch your step or you’ll fall that way’

I said ‘beg your pard, I didn’t plan it

maybe on some other planet

they might do things that way’

 

climbing on the rocks at blue jay beach

I fell when a branch was out of reach

I thought I heard somebody say

watch your step, man, or you’ll fall that way’

I said ‘beg your pard, I didn’t plan it

maybe on some other planet

they might do things that way’

 

and so I fell into the arms

of fate there at that minute

I fell into the arms of kismet

 

ice skating out on sparrow lake

it was early spring and the flow did break

I thought I heard somebody say

watch your step or you’ll fall that way’

I said ‘beg your pard, I didn’t plan it

maybe on some other planet

they might do things that way’

 

destiny wore a long white gown

all I could see was the snow white ground

 

if I should ever fall

would you
