Calico

Lyrics

Take her to the river
 Call her a river-child
 Take her to the forest
 Call her a little wild
 Sell her to the gypsy
 For a jar of metal coins
 Take her to the mountain
 And thrust yourself
 Into her loins
 Calico
 Calico
 Calico
 Her lips are white as snow
 She moved to the mountains
 With a box all chiseled sharp
 She moved to the highlands
 With a box of books all dark
 I knew her in the city
 She and I would dance the night
 Drink the wine of dripping berries
 Toss the moon and count the lights
 Calico
 Calico
 Calico
 Her skin is soft as snow
 Take her to the river
 Call her a river-child
 Take her to the forest
 Call her a little wild
