Worried one

Kami Lyle


I'm not the one with the ball
And I'm not even the one who
Builds a castle all alone
And my brother's clothes fit
Me funny
I am the worried one
Watching from the corner
Tie your shoes and don't fall down
'Til someone knocks you over
Worried One
Worried One

I know the playground lady
She's blind in one eye and
I wonder how she gets along
When she walks at night does
Somebody go with her?
If I were her I'd stay at home
But I am the worried one
Watching from the corner
Tie your shoes and don't fall down
'Til someone knocks you over
Worried One
Worried One

We go to funerals from time to time
When people die and
I don't like standing by the box
The faces frighten me as
I draw them later
My mother tapes the faces
To my walls

And I am the worried one
Watching from the corner
Tie your shoes and don't fall down
'Til someone knocks you over
I am the worried one
Watching from the corner
Tie your shoes and don't fall down
'Til someone knocks you over
Worried One
Worried One
