Oh, where are you now?

Pussy willow that smiled on this leaf

When I was alone

You promised a stone from your heart

My head kissed the ground

I was half the way down treading the sand

Please, please lift a hand

I'm only a person whose armbands beat on his hands

Hang tall, won't you miss me?

Wouldn't you miss me at all?

The poppy bird's way

Swing twigs coffee brands around

Brandish her wand with a feathery tongue

My head kissed the ground

I was half the way down treading the sand

Please, please, please lift a hand

I'm only a person with Eskimo chain

I tattooed my brain all the way

Won't you miss me? 

Wouldn't you miss me at all?
