John Vanderslice

Romanian Names

John Vanderslice


They took you away at three
To teach you a craft
To make you compete
When you fell off the balance beam
You couldn't win but you jumped up again

And still wide-eyed you
Still wide-eyed you
Still wide-eyed you go

We met in the tunnel of the stadium
Immediately was too fast and free
I asked you to stay with me
Don't return to that satellite tomb

And still wide-eyed you
Still wide-eyed you
Still wide-eyed you go
