You, Kingdom Boots

When the snow Covered the fronts of our faces From chin to brow We laid down in our positions In the slow parade Holding the hands of our lovers and long lost friends Buried underneath the covers We'll just start all over again But you said, "No" Pulling the moss from your body you found your shoes Hidden deep inside our memories like astronauts Watching as you started walking towards the moon Your feet standing on the clouds As if you held an air balloon You, Kingdom Boots How dare you do Just what you do You, Kingdom Boots I wish I could Follow you too When the snow Covered the emptied-out houses And filled the schools I had woken from my sleepiness And vowed to find you too But my feet shook Fear kept me from ever jumping From tops of trees When we were children in the forest And you hurtled through the leaves That's when I knew Just where to look for my own pair of kingdom boots They say there's a mirror image Of this world between the roots You, Kingdom Boots How dare you do Just what you do You, Kingdom Boots I wish I could Follow you too You, Kingdom Boots Achilles heels Rollerskate wheels You, Kingdom Boots Happy mistakes Look what you make You, Kingdom Boots How dare you do Just what you do You, Kingdom Boots Achilles heels Rollerskate wheels You
