A Boy From The Yard

from The mellow tapestry by Vànova

/

lyrics

I OFTEN RECALL:
THE TIME WHEN I WAS A KID
AND I USED TO PLAY MY PART
THE KIDS IN THE YARD,
PLAYING, YELLING
INNOCENCE FLOATING IN THE AIR
I WAS THE ONE
WHO HAD NOTHING TO DO
EXCEPT WATCH
THE DAYS GO BY
HE SEEMED TO
HIDE HIS SADNESS
THE BOY WHO LACKED
SELF RESPECT
SHINY POINTY BOOTS
AND A MOUND OF BLONDE HAIR
SCULPTED WITH GREASE AND SPRAY
INTO A TSUNAMI LIKE POMPADOUR
AND A COLLAR
THAT WAS ALWAYS UP
THE TRUTH IS DANNY
WAS A BAD GUY
LOOKING FOR TROUBLE
ALL THE TIME
HE WAS THE KING OF THE YARD
MOST OF THE TIME
I STOOD IN THE SAME SPOT
WORRIED ABOUT MY
LOOK AND MY PRIDE
THEY CALLED HIM
A JUVENILE DELINQUENT
THE BOY WITH A PERMANENT
SNARL ON HIS LIPS
ALWAYS WATCHING
ALL THE OTHER BOYS
WITH ANGRY EYES
HOWEVER HE NEVER SAID A WORD
THE TRUTH IS DANNY
WAS A BAD GUY
LOOKING FOR TROUBLE
ALL THE TIME
THE TRUTH IS
DANNY WAS THE KING
