She's willing to the hallway
Till the sun moves down the floor
Little squares of daylight
Like a hundred times before
She's taken to the garden
For the later afternoon
Just before her dinner
They return her to her room
And inside her mind
She is running
She is running in the summer wind
Inside her mind she is running
In the summer wind
Like a child again
The family comes on sunday
And they harbor for a while
They fill her room with chatter
And they form a line of smiles
Children of her children
Bringing babies of their own
Sometimes she remembers
That her mama calls her home
And inside her mind
She is running
She is running in the summer wind
Inside her mind
She is running
In the summer wind
Like a child again
Like a child again
It's playmate
Come out and play with me
And bring your dollies three
Climb up my apple tree
Slide down my rainbow
Into my cellar door
And we'll be jolly friends forevermore
And inside her mind she is running
She is running in the summer wind
Like a child again
Like a child again
