Mouth Of a Flower

The mouth of a flower
The hummingbird waits
Guarding his morsel
As he takes and he takes and he takes

The mussel underwater
The seagulls split
The tide running after
'Cause it takes and it takes and it takes

And we take and we take and we take
And we take and we take take take

The huckleberry climber
The soul of a lark
Climbing the church walls
To the golden core

And the worry of a mother
The creaking of a gate
Do ghosts get hungry?
'Cause they take and they take and they take

And we take and we take and we take
And we take and we take take take

The life of a father
King Solomon unlived
Lived out through his daughter
To the golden core

The mussel underwater
The algae in bloom
And what more could he offer?
What more to do?

The mouth of a flower
The hummingbird waits
Guarding her morsel
As she takes and she takes and she takes

And we take and we take and we take
And we take and we take take take
And we take and we take and we take
And we take and we take take take
