Bumble Bee
The first one in was a bumble bee Crawled in the window & he stared at me With lips as thin as you not smiling Not wide enough for a lie to hide in The first I saw was a bumble bee
& he told me I'd wasted your precious time Hitting out at the walls of a tiny mind He worked his way right through the skin This thin skin I slumber in The first I saw that bumble bee
& the next one in was a dancing frog He had a song for each one I had lost & he bent his legs around the hours At the foot of the bed where I had soured The next one in was a dancing frog
He said, 'You never moved, you never danced Never rode a melody into chance Never sang one song true enough To call the birds back to the loft You never moved, you never danced'
& the next one in was a stipple-back fish Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com The next one in was a stipple-back fish He said, 'I would grant you three wishes But I'm not in the business of giving out wishes' The next one in was a stipple-back fish
& the last I saw the stipple-back fish The last I saw the stipple-back fish His gills filled up with the dust Of a room that's not seen anything much The last I saw that stipple-back fish
& the last one in was a winter moth The last one in was a winter moth Like me he'd nothing to say He laughed at the fish & fluttered away The last one in a winter moth
Frantic & flapping & brittle & soft The last one in that winter moth Like me he'd nothing to say He laughed at the fish & fluttered away The last one in that winter moth
