I've been watching him for seven days
His hands pale
Hee-ho, hee-ho, hee-ho
Knuckles moving beneath the skin
Foetus like
Hee-ho, hee-ho, hee-ho
I've caught seven foxes
And placed them on the river bank
Each night I give him one
Hee-ho, hee-ho, hee-ho
Counting down the days till we are one
And clothe his heart in fur
Hee-ho, hee-ho, hee-ho
Clothe his heart in fur...
I sing of arms and the man
His arms that wake each morning
White-knuckled and that copy claw gestures
Seven, six and five
Seven, six and five
Seven, six, five, four
Three... one
And here I go...
Here I go
Here I go
Here I go...
I take him in I take this body whole
So thin like a spine
Hee-ho, hee-ho, hee-ho
I thread him on inside of mine
And we are one
Hee-ho, hee-ho, hee-ho
And his is the fur at last
I see his eyes inside my mouth
Even when he sneaks into my bones
Forever unborn
Forever unborn
Now finally I'm a mother
Finally I'm a mother
Hee-ho, hee-ho, hee-ho
