Take it with me, love To a place it can be, love Little bird, little starshine Little light of the undying Dig with your hands, dear Gather our friends near And I will cover it in dust, dear Silence and trust, dear Stay through the winter Wait for the splinter And the green in the springtime King-and-her-king-time And the sweet fruit all summer Falls, hit like a drummer And split in the autumn Pit with no bottom And after the fall Out in the country In the long drought with you, honey And a whole daughter and son Ours to adore, whatever may come After our chores end, and our money And our scores are settled and done Darling I will stay till the last Plates are all filled, trays are all passed Ain’t it a thrill, ain’t it a gas Forded the bill, we feast and we fast At the foot of the hill we empty our glasses And I'll follow you over Will you follow me under?
