The Dwarf Song
CARLA BOZULICH
They lay me down
in a boat like a swan.
The fairies served me tea
in a buttercup
And I'm gone
We float in her.
Her wings are clipped.
But she swims so good,
our fine swan ship
And I dip into her eyes
I found a reason to live today.
I found a reason to live today.
My clumsy hands
are full of grace.
I make them dance
in the strangest place
They fall down.
The trees bow
their sleepy heads.
Their flowers drip
into my bed
And I touch them to my cheek
I found a reason to live today.
I found a reason to live today.
They lay me down
in a boat like a swan.
The fairies served me tea
in a buttercup
And I'm gone
I found a reason to live today.
(I found a reason to live today)
