Strawberries

歌詞

Walking the tightrope Now no consequences Walking the tightrope Numb and defenceless I knocked on your door And you answered quite quickly Said I could not come in But we could walk around the garden together Arm in arm, enjoying the weather And inspecting the crops Green beans in profusion, long and straight Burdering the wine like weeping willow Ripe red tomatoes, soft and sweet Perched upon their furry stalk Begging you to pluck Crisp cucumbers proud bell peppers Radiating eighteen shades of life Life life life life Life life life life life Life life life life Life life life life life One green plastic basket of extra large Extra sweet, extra well-fed strawberries We ate them one by one 'til there was just one left The largest, sweetest, extra fancy And then we alternated bite by bite until it was all gone Then it was all gone All gone Walking the tightrope Now no consequences Walking the tightrope Numb and defenceless Can you spare any change for me tonight ? I need something to eat, somewhere to sleep tonight Can you spare any change for me tonight ? I need something to hold, something to hold me tonight Can you spare any change for me tonight ? I need someone to love, someone to love me tonight Life life life life Life life life life life Life life life life Life life life life life Walking the tightrope
