Giants

by Joe Morton

She was in the garden....dancing in her dark skin

and i...i was in the river....busy as a beaver

she sung the sweetest song....like a humming bird after the storm

and i....knew i had to see her.... she her to believe her

whoa sunshine hair...her big eyes like blue skies

i could not believe it everything was choked

and my blood shot through my veins like a lightning bolt

she said hey hey, who are you...i've never seen a wild boy like you

and i... said i was a dreamer...and i dreamt i was your lover

the sun went down...and our shadows grow longer

and we look like giants as we make our way home

as we make our way home....

i taught her how to swim there

she showed me how to braid her hair

and i...could do it for hours..it smelt just like the flowers

i showed her i could crack my bones..

two cans and a string make up a telephone..

i whispered down the line to her.. that i could see you smiling

the sun went down...and our shadows grow longer

and we look like giants as we make our way home

as we make our way home....

She wore a flower crown...she was swinging upside down..

and i said that i could do that too...

but not quite as good as you..but not quite as good as you

the sun went down...and our shadows grow longer

and we look like giants as we make our way home

as we make our way home....
