Give Him a Blanket

you are my red-eyed peek
 my red strawberry seed
 the peach on my family tree
 you are my blue-eyed sea
 you are my bee-like buzz
 soft as the hummer's hum
 the beat of the drummer's drum
 the red of the new blue son
 you were born of golden mane
 to shake the golden out of me
 a violiner, sinner, swimmer,
 sinker, singer just for me,
 a water-winger, garden-glover,
 love, to me you'll always be my
 dirty diamond, golden island,
 dyin' right in front of me
 mother keep pushing
 i see a crown
 this curse we are casting
 is beautiful now
 we'll give him a blanket
 he'll always be fed
 but he'll never make it
 'cause of all that we did
 we'll give him a blood trail
 we'll give him a name
 a house in the quicksand
 a parade in the rain
 a brother, a sister,
 who will get just the same
 and we'll tell them we're sorry
 they got hooked to our chain
 you were born of golden mane
 to shake the golden out of me
 a violiner, sinner, swimmer,
 sinker, singer just for me,
 a water-winger, garden-glover,
 love to me you'll always be my
 dirty diamond, golden island,
 dyin' right in front of me
