Two Kids

I wipe the sediment from your hair
I taste the laughter on your breath
We sink into the murky waters of cobalt blue

Do you remember how you asked me
If there were lollipop men in heaven?
You placed this petal in my palm
Do not be wasteful, oh, make it last

Sail on over here, sail over to me
Row, row, row your boat gently across the sea
On this lonely island, I'll share all my toys
With all you other lonely little girls and boys
Daisy, daisy, I don't want to be
The loneliest boy in the world

I run my hands along your forearms
I see the hairs stand to attention
I think they look like daddy long legs playing in the breeze

Let's set up shop out in the open
Under them pale self conscious clouds
I'll write the letters out on cardboard
As a welcome sign to the crowds

Sail on over here, sail over to me
Row, row, row your boat gently across the sea
On this lonely island, I'll share all my toys
Under this blanket, we'll escape from all the noise
Daisy, daisy, I don't want you to to be
The loneliest girl in the world

You take our treasured piece of plastic
Squinting, you hold it to the sky
Truly believe that stars are portals to the other side

And then at night when it gets chilly
We'll steal a smile from Mr. Moon
Before we cuddle up together like two babies in the safety of the womb

Sail on over here, sail over to me
Row, row, row your boat gently across the sea
On this lonely island, I'll share all my toys
Under this blanket, we'll escape from all the noise
Daisy, daisy, I don't want you
Daisy, daisy, I don't want you
Daisy, daisy, I don't want you to be
The loneliest boy in the world

Yeah, when happiness outgrows us
If fear and sickness came and chose us
Well, your mother, she disowned us
Whispering [???] on the homeless [???]

Now give me a twirl
As the seagulls start to circle
You proudly show me your new bruises
Where be the bucket and the spade
Replace by flame under the spoon
Whisper that tune
As the pink balloon leaves us high as a kite

Sail on over here, sail over to me
Row, row, row your boat gently across the sea
On this lonely island, I'll share all my toys
With all you other lonely little girls and boys
