Sprinkler

S P R I N K L E R

I'm spinning here
In the backyard in a dance
I've fallen under and into
a thunder spell - warm & free
turning with wonder
thirsty with wonder
it's raining buckets
of teaspoon sips
of curiosity

I can swim here
even if I'm over my head
Cover my canvas
with your brush of magic
Cover my swirling
lines when you skate by

should I be waking up anytime soon
or is this not really a dream
I could be taken by surprise
that would be fine, so very fine

I'm just a garden sprinkler,
and you make me feel like rain
I've never known what
that meant before
now I feel alive

I'm just a garden sprinkler,
and you make me feel like rain
I've never known what
that meant before
and now I feel alive
now I feel alive

Over my spinning arms
you fly like a little balerina
you don't have to try
to take me by surprise

I've fallen under and into
a thunder spell - warm & free
Just spinning here
out in the backyard
watching the sunbeams
play with your feet
W ill I ever know...
what makes you skip so free
Will I ever know ...

now I feel alive
