Why do I feel sad?

Why do I feel sad

They’re pulling the Folly down

Memories gone by

I was just a boy

It should have been our springtime

For Candy and me

That wasn’t her name

Asked if she was sweet on me

All those years ago

“You mean like candy?”

I nodded so we were friends

And played together

We walked in the woods

Then paddled in the river

She held my hot hand 

We found the Folly

A dark deserted building

Climbed in a window

Dead quiet until

The rooms echoed with laughter

As we ran about

I found the body

Poor Candy screamed with terror

Then we ran away

Our parents were cross

Never played with her again

She went far away

I so loved Candy

Wonder if she remembers

Holding my hot hand?
