Take it with me, love
To a place it can be, love
Little bird, little stone shine
Little light of the undying

Dig with your hands, dear
Gather our friends, dear
I'll cover it in dust, dear
Silence and trust, dear

Stay through the winter
Wait for the splinter
And the green in the springtime
Queen-and-her-king-time

And the sweet fruit all summer
Falls, hits like a drummer
And splits in the autumn
Pit with no bottom

And after the fall
Out in the country
In the long drought with you, honey
And a whole daughter and son
Ours to adore, whatever may come
After our chores end, and our money
And our scores are settled and done
Darling I will stay till the last
Plates are all filled, trays are all passed
Ain’t it a thrill, ain’t it a gas
Footin' the bill, we feast and we fast
At the foot of the hill we empty our glasses
And I'll follow you over
Will you follow me under?
Crawl through the shadows
Call out the wonder

Oh, how I love you!
Time will tell
I’ll never tire of you
I’m just tired of myself, dear

And as our days waft in
The ream all patters away
Soft as a dream, we laugh and we race
Off and on, we
Capture a stray pod on the breeze
Hammer a stake, mark in our seed
Manage to rake, water, and weed
Hundred-to-one; our garden will grow
But wonder or none, I wanna be known
Wanna be stunned, wanna be shown
Want for no one but you and your
Warm opening arms, watching the rolling
Storm clouds-

Sail by our window
And darken the valley
Pale, pocked, and dimpled
Crocodile bellies
We wait all night and count
The thunder
There is no lightning
It is no wonder

But just before dawn
Water comes streaming
Into the dark, every bead
Burns like a star, blink and you’ll sleep
Burns like a spark burrowing deep
Under the lawn, quiet and green
Rain has begun, honey come see
Under the sun rising like steam
Wonder or none I wanna be seen
Wanna eventually, eventually

Grow through the winter
And summer
Surely and slowly
Little stone shine of wonder
At home with you, only
