(Hold me close, hold me close)
(And I'm alone, I am alone)

Little boy, oh little boy
Your eyes are just as wide as mine
Wider than mine and I am a

Little girl, in a scary world
I want you to take me by the hand
In the grocery store, grocery store

Morning came all to stay
And I'm green to gray
And green to grass
And back to gray, I'm back
To gray, I'm back to

Pockets full, a quarter short
My feet are planted in the lawn
On a river drive, a river drive

Gravel pit, my nails are bit
Your hands are much too high to grab
And I'm too small to
Climb, too small to climb

Morning came out to stay
And I'm green to gray, green to grass
And back to gray, I'm back
To gray, I'm back to

Hold me close, hold me close
I'm alone, I am alone
