Cherry Bloom

I saw you on television
I saw you in a magazine
My little honey's got a dream
My little baby in a limousine

I was lying in a black hearse
With the velvet pushing down on me
I thought I was a big boy
I said I'd be a man someday

It's the time to place your bets
And chew right through the middle

Too tired
Funny girl
Make me laugh, laugh again
My girl
In the grass
On her knees, knees again

So bury me
With cherry bloom
Another moon
And I'd still be here, girl

I can feel them try to carry me
I can hear you playing on the beach
I'm running back to the moon, again
Tired of the neighbor

I scratched a message on a tree
I got the answering machine
My baby's on a big high
She said she'll need a man someday

It's the time to place your bets
And chew right through the middle

Tall man
In the grass
Watching you
I see him chasing now

Who was there?
You kicked my chair
From underneath
So aimlessly, meanwhile
So you lock her up
You sit her down
Just take me home, home again

Too tired
Funny girl
Make me laugh, laugh again
My girl
In the grass
On her knees, knees again

So bury me
With cherry bloom
Another moon
And I'd still be here girl
With you
