Act Of A Child

from Hardly There by Richie Setford

/

about

I went to Bill Callahan's house in a dream. He was happy, naked and shitting in a bucket. We held hands and talked a bit while the sun shone and the boats passed by in the bay below. It felt good.

lyrics

I came by your house
I let myself in, it was unlocked
With a certain respect
There were rooms I didn't check
But you weren't hiding

You're a mystery
You're a scamp
You're above all of the crap
that invades us
every day

I found you on the deck
As proud as one can get
Kind of shameless
And it's your right to defile
And flirt at the sailboats as they pass by

You're a natural
You're a scamp
You're above all of the crap
that invades us
every day

I was startled
I was caught
I was sheepish
I was fraught with emotion
As an equal
As a fan
I collected your sweet hand
And we chatted

You're a baby
You're a scamp
You're above all of the crap
that invades us
every day

Felt you alive in the act of a child
I might not be remembering it right though
