Summer, Des Moines, Arch Point school
That’s where it all began
She was like a vision, her skin was soft
I had held her hands in my hands
Afternoon class, rolling in the grass
Mom did real good, she put my lunch in a sack
I know I can deal with that
With the time that I can’t get back
We walked by her Grandma’s house
On the way back home
She looked out the window and waived
I was no longer alone
I fell from the monkey bars onto the bark
I took on a bully down at the park
I know I can deal with that
With the time that left me scarred
I heard she grew up and stayed in Des Moines
I heard she had some kids
But I have not met them yet
Now she’s takin’ ’em to class like we did
She was 19 and still feelin’ green
I heard she got married then left the scene
I know I can deal with that
With the things that will never be
