lyrics
i sat up high in the trees
i saw her running, chased by bees
jumping feet first into water
lucid altar of our youth
when she came up, wide eyed and wet
i laughed so hard i nearly fell
a bloody knee and nettle stings
she left her things and went for good
i sat up high, the sun went down
i was too scared to leave the crown
the waters' surface showed no trace
no sign of haste, no track of her
with the field in golden glow
i finally went to go below
for the time being free
the crickets laid a lasting curse on me
