Rain Boldly In The Pretend (feat. Jazz D'arcy)

The rain washes in
The boats start the race
The humidity broke
I still remember the taste
Mud squished through our toes
And gave mum the blues
I remember it all
Through rose coloured hues
And those boat went flying along

We kept our socks on
White cotton turned to brown
I turned to see mum; she was smiling with a frown
We didn′t have a lot
And didn't always have a say
But we were learning to grow
And knew how to play
We raced those boats down the road to the end
And lived boldly in the pretend

As shoes were outgrown
We had new things to chase
We were learning life′s games
And finding our place
Summers went by
And we ran from the rain
Though we really did think
We'd all stay the same
As those boat kept flying along

Now I race of to work
And I step in some sand
I brush the mud off
With the palm of my hand
I look up at the kids
As they play in the rain
Their white socks (are) brown
We play the same game
We all race those boats down the road to the end

We all race those boats down the road to the end

And live boldly in the pretend
