In the 12th year of life I found me a twin
In the dawn of a midsummer morning
Like brother and sister we played without sin
Ignoring time’s imminent warning

Her eyes told me things I’d only but dreamed
Her hair was strawberry golden
When silence did reign I was simply amazed
That mine was the hand she was holding

But the wind took us blind as it catches a kite
Our paths crossed and moved on like two ships in the night
And a hi ho de do, I’ll see you some someday
Is all that this poor boy could say

I once knew a girl and I guess she knew me
Together we danced on a seesaw
Our time was the dusk when colors would fade
And I could then whisper, “Dear Lisa’

One night we walked by an old railroad bridge
Carefully counting our paces
We stopped in the shadow of an empty boxcar
And painted black dirt on our faces

But the wind took us blind as it catches a kite
Our paths crossed and moved on like two ships in the night
And a hi ho de do, I’ll see you some someday
Is all that this poor boy could say

So now here I sit, I’ve drunk too much wine
The crisp wind curls over my shoulder
My jacket’s pulled tight, I’m thinking of you
And how the weather has suddenly got colder

Seasons go by and the years flow along
Like the growth of a tree newly planted
You are my true love, my only true love
I pray we take nothing for granted

But the wind took us blind as it catches a kite
Our paths crossed and moved on like two ships in the night
Then hi ho de do, I’ll see you some someday
Is all that this poor boy could say

Then hi ho de do, I’ll see you some someday
Is all that this poor boy will say
