Hey girl, this leaf I brought for you was
Ordinary (???) jumping
Set for sail in (goodbye) oceans

Hey girl, I brought your lead kazoo to
Make sweet music in our garden
The smallest chorus would applaud you

Tiptoe away so you don't hear me leave
I'm pearl white, can't you come inside with me

Hey girl, here's an Asian jigsaw puzzle
With dragons and mountains
And two fishermen near rivers

Hey girl, lastly here's 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
Send milk with cookies when I wake up

White 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

Memory
I'm trickling in a water wheel
Through my window
They're telling me now
Let it go

Come on play
Meet the light child
