Hey, girl
This leaf I brought for you was ordinary
Girl I yell jump in
We'll set for sailing
Goodbye, oceans
Hey, girl
I brought your records here to make
Sweet music in our garden
The smallest chorus would applaud you
Tiptoe away so you don't hear me
I'm pearl white
Can't you come inside with me?
Hey, girl
Here's an ancient jigsaw puzzle
With dragons and mountains
And two fish are now near a river
Hey, girl
Lastly is your lover's picture
I knew that you'd want to see him
He told me that you are golden
I brought the lunch so I might eat with you
I sent milk with cookies
When I find metal from the sky
Came falling where I died
And crushed all of my bones
I'm living
Cement came pouring down
My head was stuck in mounds that
Would run down my mouth
Well, my face is covered now
I'm okay with a stranger
They tricked me
And I thought I was leaving
Through my window
Now wake up!
They're telling me now
Let it go
Come on
Play
Meet the light child
