lyrics

found a button in the grass
across the street I saw the sweater from its past
seems I’ve crossed into a novel by Judy Bloom
She ran away back to her old room

there was a blue velvet sky
that reminded her of her favorite ice cream
though I much prefer chocolate, it wasn’t my dream
but I said hey I’m game, send it my way
though I never thought I’d have to pay

there was a boy who used to sing my name
though now I sleep on the floor, one day I’ll not fear the knock on my door

I move through the day, the night my dear
to keep up with the flow of what’s going on here
find me a new heart to capture my ear
and I’ll go back to sleep with a smile
and I’ll pick up the button in the grass

pick up the button in the grass
and if it’s cold I’ll go across the street and get the sweater
sew it back on and hand it off to someone who needs it
