See saw margerie daw
I’ve been gone forever
I see what I saw
Now I’ve come to stay

The birds are lined up on the fence
A mother sits and watches them
Some they stay and some they fly
A dog runs out to say goodbye
I feel my feet lift off the ground
I don’t look up I don’t look down
I don’t look behind me now
I cannot answer why

See saw…

My bag is filled not much at all
Sometimes less when I am full
I drink a handful from the stream
I slip into a waking dream
I see the passing of a war
I see the opening of a door
I see the circus came to town
But no one stayed to clean

See saw…

Blessed be the delicacy
That handles bones so naughtily
Blessed be the one for me
Who offers up a hand for free
I have brought from fare away
This handmaiden gift to say
I’ve left behind what i don’t need
So what you get is what you

See saw…
