Weaving in a crown of gold flowers

Knight me your very own fool

Laurel of your heart and its rulers

Melt when I do anything to you

Your long skirt in the grocery store

With every knock on my door

Every dull ring of the telephone

Each tired ache in my bones

Bug screen bird house cross stitch

Blue jays, robins, and a gold finch

Listening for songs of the animals

Fishing in the pond for something tangible

Been sitting as a fly on your wall

All brand new blankets of paint

Been swimming in your dry colors

Praying for the rain

Staying awake up all night

Singing by the firesmoke light

And when those bedbugs bite

They'll taste you in my blood

Cut deep and your beauty was clear

My dear your skin couldn't see it too

Oh and I stare and I stare and I stare

Tryna see if I remember you

Whistle of the old town highway

Thistle in the fairground driveway

Now it doesn't matter to me what you say

I'll kiss you in the end when you go away

Staying awake up all night

Singing by the firesmoke light

And when those bedbugs bite

They'll taste you in my blood

Darling leave me where I've been
