Verse

When we met it was in the hot green jungle 
Your perfect flesh impervious to anything fungal 
You would sweat coconut milk
And I'd lie awake, restless with the heat there in the night

Chorus

Dawn would come
And I would start to feel my own sunrise
but you'd just lie, sleeping 

Verse 2

And so we went away in search of gentler breezes 
When we arrived I longed to lie and rustle in your grasses 
But you would not permit me to retire there
None but a fly might settle on the meadow of your leg

Chorus

Dawn would come
And I would start to feel my own sunrise
but you'd just lie, sleeping 

Verse 3

Then we moved until we reached the tundra in the winter 
Of course I longed to kiss her frosty teeth in the cold air 
But now I've grown bloated on seal fat
Not even flies might settle on the meadow of her leg

Chorus

Dawn would come
And I would start to feel my own sunrise
but you'd just lie, sleeping
