Only a Rake - Holly Throsby

If only you’d stay

In the water

To wade

It’s only a rake

In the garden I made

It’s only a rake

A dead dirty spade

It’s enough to win me

Or dig me a grave

If only you’d wait

With a bottle

Where you lay

It’s only a day

A tomorrow away

It’s only a day

It’s what these hours make

It’s enough to win me

Or make everything change

If only you’d play

I have made up a game

You give chase

And a message

And wait

If only you’d play

Hammer and nail

It’s enough to win me
