THE PLAYGROUND

Music & Lyrics Copyright 2002 William Crowdis

Here we are, another sunny day in the playground
I?ll climb the ladder and slide down the slide
Then you?ll count to thirty and we?ll all go hide ? in the playground

I don?t know when they?ll be calling for me
So I?ll hold every second ?til it?s time to leave the playground

I?ll dig in the sand box, who knows what I?ll find
Maybe a treasure, maybe a dime
Or a genie in a bottle to make wishes come true
I?d wish I could stay here and fight dragons with you
In the playground

I don?t know when they?ll be calling for me
So I?ll hold every second ?til it?s time to leave the playground

BRIDGE
Oh how the years have slipped by
Now the castles we built lay to waste
A kingdom conquered by progress and thieves
And there aren?t any dragons to chase
No, there aren?t any dragons to chase

We rode the horses like princes and kings
And we flew like airplanes, our arms were our wings
That was a place we could do anything ? in our hearts
In the playground

Sitting here now on the old creaky swings
Where the laughter of children starts the circle again?
In the playground

Here we are, another sunny day in the playground
