The Cape
By: Guy Clark
Eight years old with a flower sack cape
Tied all around his neck
He climbed up on the garage
Figurin' what the heck
He screwed his courage up so tight
The whole thing come unwound
He got a runnin' start and bless his heart
He headed for the ground
Chorus:
He's one of those whjo knows that life is just a leap of faith
Spread your arm and hiold your breath, and always trust your cape
All grown up with a flower sack cape
Tied all around his dreams
He's full of piss and vinegar
He's bustin at the seams
Licked his finger and checked the wind
It's gonna be do or die
He wasn't scared of nothin boys
He was pretty sure he could fly
Chorus
Old and grey with a flower sack cape
Tied all around his head
He's still jumpin off the garage
And will be till he's dead
All these years the people said
He was actin like a kid
He did not know he could not fly
So he did
Chorus
