|
Rocking chairs and rocking horses
|
Teddy bears and flying saucers
|
Brik-a-brak and broken souvenirs
|
Christmas lights and covered wagons
|
Paper kites and Chinese dragons
|
Mingle in the shadows of the years
|
|
Attic toys in great profusion
|
Lying here in strange confusion
|
Cut into the memory like a knife
|
Smiling dolls and faded cotton
|
Dusty world I had forgotten
|
Tell again the story of my life
|
Smiling dolls and faded cotton
|
Dusty world I had forgotten
|
Tells again the story of my life
|
|
Gone the time and dead the season
|
Now I ask the rhyme and reason
|
Why my little world got left behind
|
Here among this helter skelter
|
Taking stock and taking shelter
|
I may find a moments peace of mind
|
|
Attic toys in great profusion
|
Vanished hopes and disillusions
|
Peel away the memories like a knife
|
Broken dreams and paradoxes
|
Side by side in cardboard boxes
|
Recollect the story of my life
|
Broken dreams and paradoxes
|
Jungle up in cardboard boxes
|
Tell again the story of my life
|
|
Attic toys of pain and pleasure
|
Lying here like buried treasure
|
Measure up the story of my life
|
