The country fair.
A J C 1958 (Swansea, MA)
The country fair.
It's so noisy at the fair, but all my friends are here. There's a girl down the aisle; she turns to me and smiles. As I find her hidden note, I can hear the word she wrote. So we go under the stairs, and she gives me a glare. We had our first cigarette. Then she has to leave to go home, which leaves me all alone. All the clouds are in the air, but she is not really here. So it's back. I go to the fair to stay with all my friends that are still there. Then there she stands, and she takes me by hand. Now I understand. Then I give her a kiss on her soft sweet lip as we walk over to the bandstand. I feel Grand.
