[Verse 1]
Oh ladybird
I have heard you wish to walk me through your garden
I crave your pardon if I woke you with my thinking
Ladybird
[Verse 2]
Oh ladybird
I have heard you wish to walk me through your meadow
You'll spread no wings to fly in fright if I'm beside you
Ladybird
[Chorus]
All through the wintertime
When wood was warm and splintered
Time seemed longer than a goods train
Now that spring is back again I'll ask your name, your name
[Verse 3]
Oh ladybird
I have heard you wish to walk across my pillow
No weeping willow was ever as beautiful, sad as you are
Ladybird
[Bridge]
And as you're walking past
I'm laying on the grass and making chains of thought
To snare you with my wit
But bit by bit, you fade to gone, gone
[Chorus]
All through the iron season
Love was hanged and treason became
Something of a parlor game
Now sun is back in power, I'll ask your name, your name
[Verse 4]
Oh ladybird
I have heard you have to run to tend your children
No flood can drown nor fire blacken purest longing
For ladybird
[Outro]
Ladybird
Ladybird
Ladybird
