Joanna Newsom - Flying a Kite lyrics

Dear charming kite do lightly bite
The foggy fields, the lowing lanes
The rickety roads and the kneeling plains
Oh lazy light with massive might

You dare my dream of snowy cloth
Felt snapping white as albatross
Is bitten by the wind and rocks
Is hushed into the clary moss
Is ushered here to count his loss
My kite, pale cotton, willow crossed
You take my tattered fist
It's like a catalyst it's like a roiling
Writhing wall of "Has it come to this?"

If this is medicine, woah oh
It tastes like medicine
Just help me get it in

Flying a kite flying a
Kite flying a kite flying a kite
Flying a kite flying a kite
Flying a kite flying
Flying a kite oh woah oh

Flying a kite flying a
Kite flying a kite flying a kite
Flying a kite flying a kite
Flying a kite flying
Flying a kite oh woah oh
Oh gnarly night it's like a dog fight
It's like a cat fight
And if i could just hold you close to me
Woah oh i guess I'd hold you close to me
It's like a bull fight

And I say I'd give you a piece of my mind
But, I'm giving you a piece of my mouth
You blushing boy, how could you be so blind?

Flying a kite flying a
Kite flying a kite flying a kite
Flying a kite flying a kite
Flying a kite flying
Flying a kite oh woah oh

Flying a kite flying a
Kite flying a kite flying a kite
Flying a kite flying a kite
Flying a kite flying
Flying a kite oh woah oh
La da da, dee-di look at my kite fly
Over foggy fields the pungent pines
The verdant vales and the vapid vines
And the thousand purple cups of wine
The tearing teeth and the four full tines
The crumpling feast and the dawdling dine

And you do

Pick me off the floor
Stand there staring for a minute
Like you never saw a girl before
There is the door

At night the streets are like an open mouth
I head south and you stand fair and square
And I stand there
Until the fall blots me out

There is no more
The cat and mouse to block the door
There is no more
