Did you know my laugh echoes in the darkness You say on a wet and windy evening As we find ourselves in the desolate park Your face beaming as you get on the swing Oblivious to the depressing playground with not much in And the cold, dark December feeling The bit between Christmas day and New Year. Wonky Donkey you shout As I lift the swing higher and higher And move it about to make it wobble Your pink neon unicorn hat making its way through the air You wee in a hedge And we start walking home With your laugh echoing in the darkness The day before new years eve. We spontaneously go to a pub For half a pint of lager and a packet of crisps And an apple juice You make the man laugh behind the bar Flicking up the ears on your unicorn hat And he says you’ve made his day And I’m glad we ventured out To buy bin liners And visit the park Needing a break from the inside On this dark, December evening And we walk home, our laughs echoing in the darkness.
