The hem of her dress spills over

What covers the seat

N'flutters in the breeze like caterpillars on a leaf

Hair the hue of lions, beaches dried by morning suns

Of who I am 'for sadness comes

When it comes feels like long long winters

She placed her hand in the sun and

With her shadow smoothed me down

Turn your mind down low now

Hold me close 'for madness comes
