She is twelve and I'm only ten
buried in this soft mountain of pillows
Parents away

She asks me have I been touched
Have I done the thing with anyone yet
Silence - a shy no

When there's nothing that we rather share
Than that bodily warmth if we'd dare
But she's already twelve and I am
Just a child
WARM AND SHY

She's so OLD - already twelve and I am only ten
Than was me, young and free, there and then

Now in this hotel room I lie wondering who I am
Never quite as sure after a life of questioning

Finding out at last that freedom is
A STATE OF MIND
But still not knowing how to get along with this mankind
...finding out at last that freedom is a state of mind...
