Lazy butterfly napping on me
Dreaming of the sky and rolli pollies
Wake up, wake up, clouds are coming, clouds are coming
Wake up, wake up, rains are falling, rains are falling
Colors in my eye are staring at me
Anchor at my side the sweetest silver
Pleasure, pleasure, don't forget her, don't forget her
Lover, love her, I won't forget her, I won't forget her
Seashell fingernail scratching at me
Brown eyed lullaby singing at me
Come on, come on, try and catch me, try and catch me
Come on, come on, try and catch me, try and catch me
Cardinal cloudsmoke I know they feel it
Rising from an oak because I feel it
He burn, he burn, mesmerizing, mesmerizing
He burn, he burn, hypnotizing, hypnotizing
Hopeful wise old worm in his temple
Digging in the dirt and staying simple
Married, married, to the dessert to the dessert
Climbing, climbing, up a ladder up a ladder
New born hummingbird in a meadow
Suckling at the flow of its shadow
See the day that fish will fist you, fish will fist you!
It's never too late, I'd like to think so, I'd like to think so
Knife stuck in her paw someone help her
Gather sticks and straw and build her shelter
Don't you, don't you, let her die yet, let her die yet
Don't let, don't let, let her die yet, let her die yet
