lyrics

We took a dip into buttercup lake
Nestled in the mountains of angel food cake
I am a maiden with daisies for hair
You are a woodsman and will take me anywhere

Higher we’re climbing on honeycomb hill
Over the clouds where the air starts to chill
We sit together as sprinkle stars come out
You say you love me there will never be a doubt

But I loved the sun dear
And you loved the rain
When you said goodbye dear
Hearts were built to break

We took a picnic by buttercup lake
I brought blueberries and you brought rum cake
Wind shaped the clouds into sculptures in the sky
You held my hand tight, said you’d love me till you die

But I loved the sun dear
And you loved the rain
When you said goodbye dear
Hearts were built to break

Too soon we grew older so a trip we did take
Over the mountains to buttercup lake
Your head in my lap dear as the sun goes to bed
You say you love me with your final sweet breath

Oh I love the sun dear
And you loved the rain
When you said goodbye dear
Hearts were built to break

I like to go back to buttercup lake
Nestled in the mountains of angel food cake
I’m an old maiden with lilies for hair
You are the warm wind and will take me anywhere
