lyrics

Little girl, you're a fool if you get comfortable
enjoy that kitchen table while you can
silly girl, thinking life could be the same again
this river keeps on running and you've never been a salmon

Little girl, you can look both ways before you cross the road
but the hits come from above and from below

Keep your feet on the ground and your head in the sky
but be careful of the clouds, 'cause they're always blowing by
and it seems everybody looks so pretty
but you're beautiful because you are a living, breathing being

Little girl, you can look both ways before you cross the road
but the things no one can tell you are the only things you need to know

And we all get so old, and our feet get so cold
when there's no one to buy you socks on holidays
you'll say "hey, hey, how did life get this way? I don't even recognize my face"
but wrinkles are just maps of every smile that you've had
little girl, it's not half bad
