bees buzzing in the plum tree
and my bonnet too it seems
so little to do and so much time
i know you say you're out of spoons
but i could be one for ya
if you'd only say that you'd be mine
i know
i know
i know
this isnt how it goes
i know
i know
i know
this isn't how it goes
dancing round the courtyard
in the dappled morning light
folding up the washing and my arms
around me, ever gently
as if they belonged to you
i hope i get to know your many charms
i know
i know
i know
i won't get to know
i know
i know
i know
i'll never get to know

to run away

i can't bring myself to write a song
haven't drawn or painted in so long
in and out of all these different jobs
meet someone and suddenly i'm gone
i run away
maybe i should toughen up
but every day
takes so much
i'm trying
i'm fighting
reckon i am plenty tough
now i've some good news
and of course i'd want to tell you
you say it's like i'm goin away
cos you don't have a clue
i'm not running away this time
i'm here to stay
never one to grin and bear
i'm changing
rearranging
but i'm not going anywhere
no i'm not going anywhere

i exist
in my flesh and in my bones
in my body in my soul
in my tattoos and my clothes
in my melodies and prose
we communed
with the goddess yesterday
she didn't want to go away
you said hey, hecate
it's okay you can stay
and the doctor and the tailor
came together in the parlour
and the tailor said, "oh doctor, shall we wed?"
and she said, "oh my tailor,
that has been my only wish forever,
but what shall we say to our men?"
and in the gentle showers
snails climb up on the steps
and they hope not to be stepped upon
and in the morning, when i wake
i never wake on cue
and i exist and so do you
