Daddy Longlegs (Live)

from Live at the Abbe Center by The Twelve Canons

lyrics

A rose is such a pretty thing
Before it's bloomed, before it's spring
It's winter in his heart
My daddy, sinner's king

He's the gardener, I'm the rose
A living poem in nature's prose
His treasure while I'm young
Oh so precious, more than gold

But my daddy still loves me
My daddy still cares
My daddy still loves me
My daddy longlegs is always there

A cave down south, an open mouth
This way in and that way out
"It's wrong" they all say, "for the child"
But it's my daddy's way

His burning love, his burning home
When he's in me I'm not alone
So keep your heaven above
My daddy wants me down below

My daddy still loves me
My daddy still cares
My daddy still loves me
My daddy longlegs is always there
