You seem to be sweeping up leaves The field is windy and wet I end up leaning over the fence That's the borders I've set for myself It isn't something we should throw lightly aside It should be hurled with force It isn't something we should throw lightly aside It should be hurled with force You say that's an overstatement I don't think it will do Walking these small dogs Should I hand them to you? And no, of course, I haven't met somebody new A few gaps in the clouds Was all that it took To entice us into this Sad attempt at preserving, now I know It isn't something we should throw lightly aside It should be hurled with force It isn't something we should throw lightly aside It should be hurled with force You say that's an overstatement I don't think it will do These laughably small dogs I think I'll hand them to you So tell me now, have you met somebody new? May the iron bars stand upright May the iron bars stand upright It's the sharp end of a season We were saving daylight But now there's no morning One has to know when one has to stop And there's no morning for us You say that's an overstatement I don't think it will do Just look at these small dogs I don't know what to do I take one, but you take the other two
