lyrics

There’s a fruit so sweet

That I dare not eat it

It’s surrounded by a hornets’ nest

Its covered in the bramble and the briar



There’s a song that can’t be sung

It’ll burn your lungs

It’s a song of innocence

It can only be sung by an Illinois waitress



Gather up the songs

Gather up the stars

Gather up the faces

Gather for safe keeping



Let go the songs

Let go the stars

Let go of the faces

Let go and say goodbye



Run run river

Run run river to the sea

Whisper winds

Bring my baby back to me

Shine you light

Shine your light down on me

One more time…
