lyrics

I’m calling out to you, my pretty one
Will you take the strain, or am I just projecting?
Calling out to you, my brightest star
Can you lift the heart or are all these just my dreams?

We tarried winter through
Ate the winter cabbages
Woke up at dawn
Bedded at dusk
Consumed very little
Drank the stream’s water
Censored our words
Conserved our energy

Now the summer’s here
The ground is rich
No need to conserve
We can touch. We can even dance
So why the lack of words,
The absence of embrace,
The swift and silent cropping
Of the old asparagus?

Light canopies the land
There is a warm wind
Across the meadow
All creatures are leaping
And every burden
Of the winter
Has vanished
But my heart is sinking.
