lyrics

Charlie, Charles, thank you for the snarls of the kites that would not fly.
I laughed a lot
Sparky, Charles, thank you for the quarrels of the kids you drew each night,
I learned a lot

I remember lying in my bed and in my room
Sweeping through the pages like a plastic dollar broom
Peanut butter sandwich for the barber's only son
Lunch is such a lonely time of day

Baseball becomes theology
The sermon on the mound during a game
Could this be the new seventh inning stretch?
Five cents for psychiatry
A nickel in the can and you will see
it's a great big world, just live in it

I remember lying in my bed and in my room
Surveying the landscape like the first man on the moon
Men are born to trouble sure as sparks go upward
For wisdom you went right to the source

When I was young
I had a blanket and sucked on my thumb
Now that I'm grown
I am aware of my tongue
Not much has changed

I'll bet that Marcy's favorite movie
must surely be the one called "To Sir With Love"
The stoning of Stephen, a profile of Eakins
can clearly be made out in the clouds above

Now every dark and stormy night
I take a Sopwith Camel flight
Landing in a place where I am free from my own plight
Stuck in a universe with my own Red Barons that I curse
Sparky we never met...But you knew me
