There are things that I've seen in my head
<br>While I'm sleeping in bed
<br>Do not wither in the morning light
<br>
<br>I'm taken back
<br>O I'm taken back
<br>To the dry grass and the shadows
<br>
<br>Thinking I'd like to look at your teeth
<br>Lined up in perfect rows 
<br>A maze of children feeding(??) orchard trees
<br>Where the flat lands stretch inside your mouth
<br>And when you laugh all the star thistles stumble out
<br>The flat lands stretch inside your mouth
<br>And when you laugh all the star-thistles stumble out
<br>
<br>Strong spines of valley hills
<br>All overgrown in gold
<br>Look softer than a spool of old silk thread 
<br>But if we walked down with our feet 
<br>I'd be pullin' spines and barbs and fox-tails from your skin
<br>O if we walked down with our feet 
<br>I'd be pullin' spines and barbs and fox-tails from your skin
<br>
<br>There are things that I've seen in my head
<br>While I'm sleeping in bed
<br>Do not wither in the morning light
<br>
<br>I'm taken back
<br>O I'm taken back
<br>To the dry grass and the shadows<br>
