Jack and jill

She wore that dress like it was a Saturday

Pretty as a summer rose picked in the morning

And he held her hand like it was a mystery

One he couldn’t quite believe

Just walking with him

They were high up on a hill

Something to say, and daylight to kill

Time slipped away, the way that it will


Around and around

Dancing ‘round the question

Flip a coin and watch it go down

Into the wishing will

Two steps unset there goes another day,

Another chance to give away the secrets

To keep to themselves.


They were high up on a hill Something to say, daylight to kill.

Time slipped away, the way that it will.


Darkness falls without a sound

They come tumbling down,

Tumbling after, tumbling after


She wore that dress like it was a Saturday

Pretty as a summer rose picked in the morning

And he held her hand like it was a mystery

One he couldn’t quite believe

Just walking with him

They were high up on a hill

Something to say, and daylight to kill

Time ticked away, the way that it will
