The acorn on a string was for you

It was for you and only you

Relinquished from my hand and I left it

And it waited for you

You small one

We were the grayest of doves

You small one

We were the grayest of doves

(We were the grayest of doves

We were the grayest of doves)

The strong knot was to show you that I cared

I sent you off into the water there

The strong knot was to show you that I cared

I sent you off into the water there

Into the water there

Into the water there

Into the water there

Into the water there

Into the water there

Into the water there

Into the water there

Every now and then I take a peek

I breathe it in, I breathe it in deep

Every now and then I take a peek

I breathe it in, I breathe it in deep

Acorn on a string, acorn on a string

(Every now and then I take a peek)

Acorn on a string, acorn on a string

(I breathe it in, I breathe it in deep)

Acorn on a strong, acorn on a string

(Every now and then I take a peek)

Acorn on a strong, acorn on a string

(I breathe it in, I breathe it in deep)
