snakes crawl slowly in the fall legless hip twist in sand seas they walk a golden beard grows beneath some golden ears some holes are hollow homes that house some hollow howls redbird heard all the winter ladys song she sings sometime some snow each breath she breathes is cold old oak is tall he looks wise as he balds growing golden threads are all falling from his head some spread some wings and some sprout some legs til sunbird comes and he sun seeds his sons black beak swan saw the winter lady yawn her black lips show her teeth so white they glow

little seed 03:55
so grow little seed 'cause i want to be your tree and when you leave i will stay in this state and hide my shade you found me in the mountains you found me in the snow i watched the moon fall out of the mornin' sky and the sun was shinin' bright like lightnin' your voice is thunder and i am listenin' like a mother to a whisperin' child with that gold in your eyes you're a glow on a lightless night and your feathers are ruffled white i wanna be where you wade i wanna be your lake if you were a bug and i was a spider i'd wrap you up and hold you tight build you a room and watch you bloom and chase the sun across the salty sea so grow little tree cause i wanna be your leafs and when you stay i'll be your shade for the rest of my days

littlebird 03:16
she is a little bluebird sittin' on my head whisperin' dreamin', singin' of a blackbird whose feathers are long and thin he lost her in the blue sky mmmmmmmmmmmmmm the dew drops rest like streetlights bendin' over the meadow, your home where we play by firelight the black sky is showin' white mmmmmmmmmmmmmm she dancin' shakin' the dust off her coat rollin' up the mountain side light it up smokey love drink your wine river wide and i ain't seen your spot in the sky mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

silver snow 02:39
if the back door and the trap door are locked i'll sleep alright the night oh the night im lost in a dream the sky oh the sky is your blanket the stars holes from your teeth, the light a golden glow golden glow, golden glow, golden glow, silver snow on your nose
