Lyrics Joanna Newsom

Joanna Newsom

Flying a Kite

Dear charming kite,

Do litely bite

The foggy fields, the lowing lanes

The rickety roads and the kneeling plains

Oh lazy light

With massive might

You dare my dream of snowy cloth

Felt snapping white as albatross

Is bitten by the wind and rocks

Is hushed into the clary moss

Is ushered here to count his loss

My kite; pale cotton, willow cross

You take my tattered fist

It's like a catalyst

It's like a roiling writhing wall of 'has it come to this?'

If this is medicine woah-oh

It tastes like medicine

Just help me get it in

Flying a kite,

Flying a

Kite, flying

A kite, flying

A kite, flying

A kite, flying

A kite, flying

A kite, flying

Flying a kite

Oh-woah-oh

Oh gnarly night

It's like a dog fight

It's like a cat fight

And if i could just hold you close to me, woah-oh

I guess i hold you close to me

It's like a bull fight

And i see i give you a piece of my mind

But i'm giving you a piece of my mouth

You blushing boy,s how could you be so blind?

Flying a kite,

Flying a

Kite, flying

A kite, flying

A kite, flying

A kite, flying

A kite, flying

A kite, flying

Flying a kite

Oh-woah-oh

La, da-da, dee, di

Look at my kite fly

Over foggy fields

The pungent pines

The verdant veils

The vapid vines

And the thousand purple cups of wine

The tearing teeth and the four full tines

The crumpling feast and the dawdling dine

And you do

Get me off the floor

Stand there staring for a minute

Like you never saw a girl before

There is the door

And like the streets are like an open mouth

I head south

And you stand fair and square and i stand there

Until the fall blots me out

There is no more

The cat and mouse to block the door

There is no more
