WHILE YOU STILL CAN
jaar: 2012

Later when you've grown a bit,
you can come along with me,
we'll go to the woods,
play Indians and cowboys,
learn to shoot a catapult,
take cover from a thunderstorm
and we'll borrow
a plum or two from the farmer.

Later when you've grown a bit,
we'll go back to our house.
There's something in the cellar
with no eyeballs.
After that, the marketplace,
we'll climb the church's spire,
you can really touch the sky there
and think up
toward the planets.

Play
while you still can
'cause little man
before you know
you've got a wife, a friend,
a child or two,
a mortgage and an auto loan,
peruse the news
while sitting like a potted plant
there in the window.

Later when you've grown a bit
I can come along with you.
I'll take you to the airport,
the Anne Frank House and the zoo
and after that the harbors,
the sand dunes and the sea,
build a great big castle
and as soon as it gets very dark
we can be vampires.

Play
while you still can
cause little man
before you know
you've got a wife, a friend,
a child or two,
a mortgage and an auto loan,

while sitting like a potted plant
there in the window.

Later when you've grown a bit
you can come along with me,
Later when you've grown a bit
you can come along with me.

Later when you've grown a bit.
