[XTC - Ladybird lyrics]
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
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
All through the winter time
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
Oh ladybird i have heard you wish to
Walk across my pillow
No weeping willow was ever as beautiful
Sad as you are ladybird
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
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 oh ladybird
I have heard you have to
Run to tend your children
No flood can drown nor
Fire blacken purest longing for ladybird
Ladybird ladybird
Ladybird
Walk me through your garden
I crave your pardon if I
Woke you with my thinking ladybird
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
All through the winter time
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
Oh ladybird i have heard you wish to
Walk across my pillow
No weeping willow was ever as beautiful
Sad as you are ladybird
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
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 oh ladybird
I have heard you have to
Run to tend your children
No flood can drown nor
Fire blacken purest longing for ladybird
Ladybird ladybird
Ladybird
