The acorn on a string was for you
It was for you and only you
Relinquished from my hand and I left it
And it waited for you

You small one
We were the greyest of doves
You small one
We were the greyest of doves

The strong knot was to show you that I cared
I sent you off into the water there
The strong knot was to show you that I cared
I sent you off into the water there

Into the water there
Into the water there
Into the water there
Into the water there
Into the water there
Into the water there
Into the water there

Every now and then I take a peek
I breath it in, I breath it in deep
Every now and then I take a peek
I breath it in, I breath it in deep

Acorn on a string
Acorn on a string
Acorn on a string
Acorn on a string
Acorn on a string
Acorn on a string
Acorn on a string
Acorn on a string
