Small rave here.
I remember Elaine and the day we started school. Fresh scrubbed and smelling of soap orange drink and toast. Her navy blue tunic and blazer and hair shining in the morning sun. Mum's photo catching our worried eyes and brave smiles. Her hardboard case and my proudly genuine bullock hide schoolbag and web belt with the snake buckle. Our shirts buttoned to the neck her hand so soft and warm. As neighbours we played and explored with enthusiasm and joy.
There's an old photo of us at the New years eve party in the village hall. I'm glaring from my pudding basin haircut with strangled tie. Her mouth is set tight with sympathy in a short clown suit with four big pom-poms. As childhood years played out she coloured my world contented. Things change. The family left the bulldozers, parties and pine pollen, moving to the coast, so Dad could work his long line boat. Now I realize that I loved her and life will never be the same. Never saw her again but I still remember Elaine.

In Love With Elaine

I re-member frosty mornings, the parties and the pine-trees
And the first day that we went to school
New uniforms and text-books bullock hide leather bags
Your laughter in the sunshine as I play the fool

Fall in love with Elaine in old photos
Fall in love with Elaine in the past
Didn't know the good thing we had going
Fall in love with Elaine - at last.

A photo from the New Year cele-bration in the hall
I'm sulking and your mouth is set like stone
Pompoms on your clownsuit, I hate my strangled tie
We're fed-up, tired and grumpy, just want to go home

Fall in love with Elaine in old photos
Fall in love with Elaine in the past
Didn't know the good thing we had going
Fall in love with Elaine - at last.

Where's the wonder that we knew as we walked hand in hand
Where's it gone?

Fall in love with Elaine in old photos
Fall in love with Elaine in the past
Didn't know the good thing we had going
Fall in love with Elaine - at last.
