Lyrics Mini Toboggan - Last Crack

Mini Toboggan

Our old house — Jefferson — when the old church rings — 3:30
Jen & I went out right after school
In the snow — bundled warmly
Out to our hill to build the jump
With bales of hay & icy water
Todder’s ready, with mini toboggan
A fearless little man, with mini toboggan
He plops to his belly — in the snow — & he goes
Evel Knievel had nothing on him
20 or more times into the cold blue sky, he goes
«Do it again!
Do it again!»
Todder gathers scattered limbs
& scoots to the top of the hill again
To challenge all our icy dreams
Home in a crystal winter kingdom
Home in the country’s finest farmland
Two brothers & a sister we could fly
Sunset orange through skeleton trees
Brittle fingers & breath that steams
A silent winter sky — that slowly dies
& three stumble home — tired & cold
Ice upon ice
Skeletrees
Rosey cheeks
& dreams
When the school bus finally brings us home
Bundled warmly — in the drifts of snow
