The Strawberry Girl

Dead leaf falling from a family tree Drop in the ocean, a rock in the sea In a long cold winter she's falling asleep On a pillow of feathers, wool of sheep China moon on a cold winter night When she's sleeping, the light Is milk on her pillow and the goldfish is turning around In a bowl near the window The curtain is moving slow The wind is blowing Strawberry girl takes me to her kitchen Am I fish or bait Paper straw into her soft skin Sip her lemonade Koala faces, thick grey fur Pieces of snake skin, millefleurs In a long cold winter she's waking up On a pillow of feathers, wool of sheep On a cool day the strawberry girl takes me to the river We sit down in the breeze Gooseflesh when she starts to shiver Cover her with wool and listen to the wind In the leaves of the trees She tells me she leaves She leaves (I don't know where I am going) I don't know where I I'm just a black sheep A falling leaf A falling leaf from a family tree
