All my fingers ran off and I, I just couldn't follow them
Your eyelash was an island, and your eyes were someone's friend
Who could there have been oh oh oh woh
Well i heard it was a real sweet thing
Now when my smells grew some more smells,
and I just couldn't smell them all la de da de da de dum
I smell my sister in the winter and my father in the fall
Cross sand and snow oh oh oh woh
A tired moon, oh oh oh who
Oh oh oh who...
