Birth a Basket - Cosmo Sheldrake

Chop your wood

And weave a nest from sticks or let the cold in

Let’s weave a little house out of dreams

Blow and blow

But it will keep on standing

Huff and puff in vain

Let’s grow a basket

All covered in thorns

When harvest time comes back round

We’ll feast until dawn

Blow and blow

But it will keep on standing

Huff and puff in vain

Let’s thatch a roof

But leave a hole so we can let the stars in

So they’ll forever shine down on me

Blow and blow

Bit it will keep on standing

Huff and puff in vain
