Текст песни Ladybird - Andy Partridge

O, ladybird
I have heard you wish to walk me through your meadow
You'll spread no wings to fly in fright
If I'm beside you, ladybird

O, ladybird
I have heard you want to walk across my pillow
No weeping willow was ever
As beautiful as you are, ladybird

All through the winter time
When wood was worn and splintered
Time seemed longer than a goods train
Now that Spring is back again
I'll ask your name, your name

O, ladybird
I have heard you have to run to tend your children
No flood can drown or fire blacken
Purest longing for ladybird
Ladybird

And as you're walking past
I'm laying on the grass
And making chains of thought
To snare you with my wit
But bit by bit you fade to gone
Gone

O, ladybird
I have heard you wish to walk me through you meadow
You'll spread no wings to fly in fright
If I'm beside you ladybird

All through the iron season
Love was hanged and treason
Became something of a parlor game
Now sun is back in power
I'll ask your name, your name

O ladybird
I have heard you have to run to tend your children
No flood can drown or fire blacken
Purest longing for ladybird
Ladybird
