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
