Ring Around the Rosies

by Sly   Feb 4, 2006


Ring around the rosies
holding hands
with friends and family
twisting and turning
never to let go

Pocket full of posies
screaming and shouting
smiling and laughing
dancing and playing
not a care in the world

Ashes to ashes
holding tight
has we spin faster
closing our eyes
until...

We all fall down
smiles turn to frowns
has we hit the cold floor
the laughter stops
has clouds cover the stars

Lying in the darkness
while the song
plays in your head

Ring around the rosies
Pocket full of posies
Ashes to ashes
We all fall down
