March of the Gherkins

It's been some time
Since the smile upon my face
Had a sneak preview in town
It's been a while since I gave chaseIt's been some time
Since the girl from round my way
Came and took me by the hand
And a long time since I came aroundI can remember
When I stood on my head
And walking straight across the ground
I still picture the laughing facesCatch me I'm falling into my past
Catch me the deeper the louder the laughI was told to grow up soon
Face my consequences
Being told it was high time
High time to come to my sensesClimbing up to the top floor
Stood the look of pleasure
Such a silly aged man
With an attic full of treasureCatch me I'm falling into my past
Deeper the deeper the louder the laughI remember when I was ten
Things were somewhat better then
Time went by so easily
Is this the way life's supposed to beBut looking back I wonder why
It seems to pass so quickly by
Memories can make you cry
But I close my eyes my tears I try to hideI was thinking about Tammo Land
Of all the funny places
I was thinking a short time agoCatch me I'm falling into my past
Deeper the deeper the louder the laugh
