lyrics

We carry three pears, golden in sugar
Young and green cupped in the palms of our hands
We take a walk among carrot flowers 
Rained last night and the lambs’ ears are damp

Last night I listened to you shower
Cold and sweet in the water from the well
We took a walk by the old water tower
Rain like a second shower as it fell 

Slicing apples on the kitchen table
Knife is flashing warm inside your hand
I’ll listen to you tell another fable
Tell me the wolf and let me be the lamb

We carry peaches, soft and shining yellow
Soft as your skin felt warm under my hands
We’ll wake in white sheets soaking in tomorrow
We’ll find a green moth dancing in the lamp 

Turn the lamp out, we don’t need it tonight
Darkness is silence I know you understand 
Turn me like a key and feel my ribs con- 
tract and hold me, a moth inside your hands
