oh, what'd i say?
i never gathered figs from a thorny branch
i never picked a grapefruit off a bramble bush
and for the past five, almost six years nowyou know you haven't once looked at me
with kindness in your eyes
oh, what'd i say?

darling, darling

winged or chained
i asked you
would you have stayed?
did i hold on too tight?
did i not let enough light in?
