The Strawberry Girl

Dead leaf falling from a family tree

Drop in the ocean, a rock in the sea

In a long cold winter she's falling asleep

On a pillow of feathers, wool of sheep

China moon on a cold winter night

When she's sleeping, the light

Is milk on her pillow and the goldfish is turning around

In a bowl near the window

The curtain is moving slow

The wind is blowing

Strawberry girl takes me to her kitchen

Am I fish or bait

Paper straw into her soft skin

Sip her lemonade

Koala faces, thick grey fur

Pieces of snake skin, millefleurs

In a long cold winter she's waking up

On a pillow of feathers, wool of sheep

On a cool day the strawberry girl takes me to the river

We sit down in the breeze

Gooseflesh when she starts to shiver

Cover her with wool and listen to the wind

In the leaves of the trees

She tells me she leaves

She leaves

(I don't know where I am going)

I don't know where I

I'm just a black sheep

A falling leaf

A falling leaf from a family tree
