A forgotten whisper screams at me now
So that I don't forget how
To sit like a child on my mother's knee
How dare that child be me
And it's trot-trot to Boston
And trot-trot to Lynn
And trot all the way home again
But don't let me fall in
'Cause I'm slipping through your legs
I'm slipping through your legs
I'm slipping through your legs
I'm slipping through your legs (legs)
So race me up the loft
Up the ladder until I get lost
And let you be an arm's length away
So you can wake me and tell me of the day
'Causeit's trot-trot to Boston
And trot-trot to Lynn
And trot all the way home again
But don't let me fall in
'Cause I'm slipping through your legs
I'm slipping through your legs
I'm slipping through your legs
I'm slipping through your legs (legs)
So where are you going?
Did you follow me?
And how could you see so well? (so well)
You were helpless like a dove at bay
But what did you say when falling out?
Did you shout? Did you shout?
Did you oh oh oh....
'Cause I'm slipping through your legs
I'm slipping through your legs
I'm slipping through your legs
I'm slipping through your legs
So where are you going?
Did you follow me?
And how could you see so well? (so well)
You were helpless like a dove at bay
But what did you say when falling out?
Did you shout? Did you shout?
Did you oh oh....
And the way it goes
And I can't remember
And the way it goes
And I can't remember
And the way it goes
And I can't remember
And the way it goes
And I can't remember
And the way it goes
And I can't remember
And the way it goes
And I can't remember
