I've been watching words flow from your mouth,
One by one by one,
Like ants in a colony.
I've been collecting them,
One by one by one, for you and me,
To watch them grow in spring.
You are a great big bear;
No matter how tall I stand I just can't scare you away.
The more that I talk, the more scared you seem,
So shut your mouth and give it all to me.
You fall asleep when I wake, and I can't help but drift away
When it's late at night and you can't close your eyes.
