Up in the Attic - Buddy Mondlock

I been climbing up in the attic

Cardboard boxes with magic marker names

My old toys

I was always up in the attic

A secret place there where grownups never came

Just a boy

And a child's face appeared in the dust

Recalling years I knew I could trust

But this is crazy stuff

I thought I was old enough to know better

And I remembered being a baby
In the morning kitchen the tile floor was warn
I recall
I was sitting inside a blue square
I closed my eyes and started slowly floating down
A dreamer's fall
And in a world of soft green light
I would make my morning flight
So I'd end each night
'Til I was old enough to know better

When I used to sleep by the window
I was small enough to climb up on the sill
And watch the night
And then the lightning jumped from the darkness
And the rain would race before the howling wind
In frenzied flight
And only inches from the storm
I never felt so safe and warm
There I'd stay 'til morn
'Til I was old enough to know better
And I been climbing up in the attic
