lyrics

If you fall asleep down by the water, babe I'll, carry you home, I will carry you home and if you fall asleep down by the water, babe I will carry you home through your front door onto your pillow I will see you tomorrow, down by the water, down, by the water.

Fruits bloom at lips
child's fingertips
wings unfold, old maps
leave them to dry
pressed smile, pressed on lips of passersby
closed lips don't open
disguise is a lie
don't show teeth
heads dropped, necks are stems of bleeding hearts
uniform, outline, in line
not this time
tell the children to quiet, screams to sighs
you're domesticated wolves and butterflies
plucked from stem and hung to dry
you're wildgrasses and dogs
prevail prevail
wolves and butterflies

Not this time

Wake up

And if you fall asleep I will carry you home down by the water through your front door onto your pillow I will see you tomorrow down by the water
