Lyrics

Singing so sweetly out to the whole world
In that whole world, I am just one bird
I guess that means I can relish in your singing to me

You have me so gently spun in your spinny wheel
I could unwind but I feel
so pretty wound up combed and dyed

Oooo now that you’re home
I will take my sweet new time with you again

Your heart sowed in mine is a sprouting seed
It blows quite ferociously in the spring breeze
A breeze to blow me down to my knees

I am a kitty cat I keep on curling
Until I am a ball I keep on swirling
Between your legs so you can’t hide there at all

Oooo now that you’re home
I will take my sweet new time with you again

You’re my little onion I’m still getting to the middle
The center so unclearly near I nearly needn’t fear
That you just might float away and disappear

As you set off to flight my heart is freed from breezes
But knowing flight it slighted by what stronger footing teases
The wind will take our hearts to where he pleases

Oooo now that you’re home
I will take my sweet new time with you again

Your little heart is so tightly in mine
Though it’s a hard fit, I like it fine
I’ll keep yours so long as you keep mine

These new days our hearts fit just fine
