The Dwarf Song

They lay me down
in a boat like a swan.
The fairies served me tea
in a buttercup
— and I’m gone…
We float in her.
Her wings are clipped.
But she swims so good,
our fine swan ship
— and I dip into her eyes…
I found a reason to live today.
I found a reason to live today.
My clumsy hands
are full of grace.
I make them dance
in the strangest place
— they fall down.
The trees bow
their sleepy heads.
Their flowers drip
into my bed
— and I touch them to my cheek…
I found a reason to live today.
I found a reason to live today.
They lay me down
in a boat like a swan.
The fairies served me tea
in a buttercup
— and I’m gone…
I found a reason to live today.
(I found a reason to live today)
