little red

kate nash

everybody took everything that they could

and they made a little town out of stones and out of wood

and they made a little king out of plastercine

and they threw the rules away but they kept the wisdom in. and all the birds and the bees lived so peacefully

and all of the babies they slept so gently until. little red

'cause your smile is beautiful and it makes me happy. 'cause your smile is beautiful and it makes me happy. well

this little girl grew up and moved away. and she lived her life full of risk and full of play. and she lived her life with so much to say

and her flowers

they grow more beautiful every day.
