Backyard Rattle

{"language":"eng","descriptor":"","text":"[Verse 1]\nSuds on the plate\nSun on the screen\nLittle feet hittin' gravel\nThrough the backyard green\n\nI stack the bowls\nYou laugh down the block\nWater on my hands\nAnd the day just talks\n\n[Pre-Chorus]\nTap-tap on the fence\nHop-scotch, boom, then run\nBack door open wide\nHere they come, here they come\n\n[Chorus]\nKids playin' outside\nKids playin' outside\nI hear joy in the yard\nWhile the dishes shine\n\nKids playin' outside\nKids playin' outside\nEvery laugh in the air\nMakes the whole room fine\n\n[Verse 2]\nOne ball skips the steps\nOne voice calls my name\nA kite string shakes the tree\nAnd the shadows change\n\nI rinse one more cup\nThen I pause and smile\nThat sweet little racket\nStretches out the miles\n\n[Pre-Chorus]\nTap-tap on the fence\nHop-scotch, boom, then run\nBack door open wide\nHere they come, here they come\n\n[Chorus]\nKids playin' outside\nKids playin' outside\nI hear joy in the yard\nWhile the dishes shine\n\nKids playin' outside\nKids playin' outside\nEvery laugh in the air\nMakes the whole room fine\n\n[Bridge]\nLet the water slow\nLet the daylight stay\nTiny hands and big dreams\nFilling up the clay\n\nFrom the porch to the grass\nFrom the curb to the slide\nI wash, they run\nAnd the whole world feels alive\n\n[Final Chorus]\nKids playin' outside\nKids playin' outside\nI hear joy in the yard\nWhile the dishes shine\n\nKids playin' outside\nKids playin' outside\nEvery laugh in the air\nMakes the whole room fine\n\nKids playin' outside\nKids playin' outside\nThat sweet little sound\nKeeps the whole day kind"}
