I've been watching him for seven days His hands pale hee-ho-hee-ho-hee-ho Knuckles moving beneath the skin Foetuslike hee-ho-hee-ho-hee-ho I've caught seven foxes And placed them on the river bank Each night I give him one hee-ho-hee-ho-hee-ho Counting down the days till we are one And clothe his heart in fur hee-ho-hee-ho-hee-ho I sing of arms and the man his Arms that wake each morning White-knuckled and that copy claw gestures 7 6 5 7 6 5 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 and here I go I take him in I take this body whole So thin like a spine hee-ho-hee-ho-hee-ho I thread him on inside of mine And we are one and we are one hee-ho-hee-ho-heeeee-ho And his is the fur at last I See his eyes inside my mouth Even when he sneaks into my bones Forever unborn Now finally I am a mother Finallyiamamotherhee-ho-hee-ho-hee-ho
