Down by the sycamore tree
Close by the waterin' stream
far away as childhood dreams,
oh, how the memories come.
I remember how we used to run
that German Shepard sure wanted some
Down by the sycamore tree, my god we had some fun.
That time was forty years ago,
longer than some lives I know
'fore booze n' pills n' bags of blow
brought the fun to an end.
Well, I drove by the other day
tree sure as hell is there to stay
n' kids were out there hard at play
not knowin' what's to come
One'll die of an overdose,
another'll end comatose
that handsome one will lose his soul
If they knew they’d hold
these times so close,
the way I never did,
the way I never did.
Down by the sycamore tree
Close by the waterin' stream
far away as childhood dreams,
oh, how the memories come.

I really liked reading this. As children we want to grow up so fast never really knowing what we had when we were that age.
Nicely done. It also made me think of the Twilight Zone episode where the old people go back and become kids again.
Thank you for an enjoyable read.

What a storyteller you are! You had me along on the ride to go back and look one long last time.
Nice closure too; bring the tale full circle for your reader!
I hope your message reaches those who need to hear it, and please keep writing.
