lyrics

You waited a long time for me to drop by
By the time I arrived I was stale and dry
I had fall in my heart and summer in my hair
So I wintered in your arms at the first sight of cold air.

Self-incompatible like the hickory tree
I needed you and you needed me
Last lovers faded quickly as I grew crueler
They became jewels on the crown of a fanciful ruler

Spring came so I flew back to my nest
And settled my heart for a lonesome rest
Planted marigold seeds in neat, straight rows
Fed the finches and threw my scraps out to the crows

Self-incompatible like the hickory tree
I needed you and you needed me
Last lovers faded quickly as I grew crueler
They became jewels on the crown of a fanciful ruler
