In an Old Fashioned Picture Book - Donovan

Come take a look with me
In an old fashioned picture book
Patience the girl we see on the sand
With the squint and parasol low
Sweethearts are sewn 'tween the cloth of her cuff
A shell in her little tight hand;
Soon she'll be going away
With her bottle of sand tomorrow
From the shores of yesterday
Come see her move and be in our old
Fashioned backward look
Just like an old movie
Talking and real like when it was took
Bats balls and Tomboys
Cheeky and gruff
Faint sounds of a distant brass band
Who rides the donkey today
Will our visions of tomorrow mingle
With those of yesterday
Come close your eyes and hear melodies
From an old music box
Tinkling as tandems and tears go tumbling
Like tresses and small perfumed locks
Sweet dreams were sewn
'Tween the years of her life
A tear in her little kerchief
Waving and fading away
With her ottled sand tomorrow
From thnbe shores of yesterday
Will her visions of tomorrow mingle
With those of yesterday
Come take a look with me in an
Old fashioned picture book
