We made up the rules as we went

Wading through heather, lazing on limbs

Wasting the day any way on a whim

Nobody saw him like me

Was he a toy or a tiger

I don't know but he was my friend

I still taste the tears when I think of it now
[Chorus 3]

Was he a toy or a tiger

Bouncing downhill in that radio flyer

All I know is he was my...

Real or pretend

He was my friend
