Ladybird

[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
