Don't Leave Me Hanging

I’ll swing from tree to tree,
And when I tire of swinging,
I’m sure to find the ground.

If it’s not a waste of your time,
Follow up on your smooth words.
Here’s a quarter...

I don’t mind swinging.
My life is often up in the air,
But please don’t leave me hanging.
(...Call someone who cares.)
