about

Louka originally described this song to me as "Alice in Wonderland meets Tom Sawyer."

lyrics

She is standing, she is standing
At the window looking in
There are marbles, there is whitewash
And lots of coins piled in a tin

Tom Sawyer's playing with a pocket knife alone
Somewhere out there Injun Joe's waiting

Is he lost inside the cave
Searching for gold again
And just right there
The page tears in Mark Twain

She is walking, she is walking
Through the doorway feeling young
Huck Finn's fishing with his big toe
Knotted tightly in a string

Tom Sawyer white washed fences alone
Waiting for some fool to come

She is lost inside the cave
Searching for gold once more
And just right there
Mark Twain's pages tore

She is standing, she is standing
At the counter to get served
There are caverns there's a thousand
Books on which to slip and lose her nerve
