Marble Run Lyrics

Now the year gets old

And the days slip by

August hangs on late July

Like an older wife

When she's feeling good

So I go walking in the hawthorn wood

And it seems no time

Or not to me

That I had a dog

And girl of three

And we all moved in

In the winter sun

With a Barbie bowl and a Marble Run

So the spring came in

And the sun got strong

And I sat there with music on

On a Sunday morning because now I could

Then I went walking in the chestnut wood

And it seems no time

Or not too long

When I was singing a different song

Yet before I knew it

The girl was six and the dog had trouble chasing sticks

Well the girl grew up

And the dog moved on

To a game much better than the one we're on

And I sit here now in September sun

Gazing at the Marble Run
