Like stubborn boys with big green eyes We'll see everything In the timid shade of the autumn leaves And the buzzard's wing REFRAIN: And we'll undress beside the ashes of the fire Our tender bellies all wound around in baling wire All the more a pair of underwater pearls Than the oak tree and its resurrection fern
