I never know if he's here any more
I thought we had words but I can't find him
He comes and he goes, he closes the door
I want to tell him everything's unwinding
Everybody's frightened
Everybody's scared
And when I put my hand up
I do it to block the fear
If I raise my voice in anger
It isn't what it seems
I'm living in the dark but don't you call me
Granny Mean
Ask me your questions, I will tell you no lie
But I won't guarantee the answer
Walk me down the street
I may be walking there with you
But you just might find me walking
In the past, sir
Dance with me, my dear
Just you and me
Spin me around
No-one can see
I never know
What kind of day it will be
And whether you'll be walking in the garden
They think I frighten children but it wasn't always so
Once I danced through summer like a young thing
Once I held my hat to stop it falling when I ran
And laughed so much the air made my lungs sing
