Little red bike - Mindy Gledhill

The air feels feather-light

against my apple cheeks in the driveway

I try to balance right

and push the pedals as I

Ride

you by my side

holding on for dear life

with the sun in my eyes

and with all of your love you let go of

my little red bike

I trace a figure eight

and fall to pieces on the pavement

you scoop me up and say

life's meant to be this way so get up and

Ride

you by my side

holding on for dear life

with the sun in my eyes

and with all of your love you let go of

my little red bike

I brace the handlebars

and coast against this breeze

I'm chasing after cars

while time is chasing after me and I

Ride

you by my side

holding on for dear life

with the sun in my eyes

and with all of your love you let go of

my little red bike
