Mm Daddy

Mm Daddy Mm Daddy she did me wrong
the night is heavy cause her tresses are long
and the stars her furniture
straining to hold
those pictures we drew of old

Mm Daddy who bent that crescent moon?
when you did it did you check it stayed in tune?
yesterday I first recognized her
she was running I saw her back

Mm Daddy Mm Daddy waited so long
the sky started to crack
hung our pictures over Daddy
but that won't stop the roof crashing

Mm Daddy Daddy the way you play
like your fingers still in yesterday
that won't stop the rain lashing
that won't make her stay

Oh Daddy Mm Daddy she did me wrong
andromedary gone too long
holding her water
in a collander of stars
waited too long waded too far
