lyrics

six years old I remember the petting zoo
for once I could do what I wanted to
I could get as close as to touch
I fell in love with the ewe

we had a oneness, a level easily reached
there were no promises to breach
just a hand and a waiting chin
a lesson my elders couldn't teach

I never wanted to leave, the petting zoo
and in some ways I never did
I never wanted to leave the petting zoo
in some ways, I remained a kid

one moment in time
a lasting tickle
all the words rhymed
no lead nickels

I smiled a cry all the way home
the best tears and laughter, I had known

I never wanted to leave, the petting zoo
and in some ways I never did
I never wanted to leave the petting zoo
in some ways, I remained a kid
