Sexing the Cherry Words and Music by Lani Williams
The first thing that I saw, it was a man walkin' round Comin' out of the woods, and the snow was fallin' hard Big Sticky flakes clung to his beard, he smiled and looked ahead Nothin' but light scattered over, tracing circles in the air mmm?
A cat was jumpin', fallin' back every now and then To catch a snowflake as others landed on his head As I came near he shouted "Time is standin' still you know" I feel it every chance I get, still I can't wait to take a stroll?
Chorus I've spent a lifetime runnin', toss my finite existence out the door I've spent a lifetime runnin', and I don't care any more mmm mmm?
There is a place you'd like to go, he said, I looked around But I was there, no place else I'd rather be The trees have blankets and the frogs don't even care We were sharin' wine and the smoke is in the air
Chorus
I feel her spinnin' me around, walkin' on ropes hung off the ground I vanish through a dusty door, only to find it's not there anymore I'm feeling wired, I can't explain, the sound that's pumpin' through my brain I'm so lost I can't be found, If only I could touch the ground?
Chorus
It was the man, the beard, the woods, the snowflake on his head The trees, the cat, the smile, and then the wine Timeless it seems, though I feel it every now and then, Scratchin' at my door, beggin' me go out again? mmm?
