Petals In The Grass

When I Was Me

I miss the gold finch
I miss the bob white
I miss the red winged black bird
Singing just right

I miss first love butterflies
I miss that school boy crush
I miss those school girl kisses
They always made me blush

I miss the weeping willow
I miss that tall pine
I miss the one birch tree
I would call mine

I miss when I was unpolluted
I miss when I was pure
I miss when I didn't give a damn
And wasn't so mature

I miss the innocence of childhood
I miss running free
I miss those times
When I was me
