The only girl I ever loved
Sat beneath the tallest pear tree
And picked a pair of pears with her bare hands
Her fingers splintering
The only girl I ever loved
Sat on her porch and counted the clouds
And picked birds from the sky
Placed them against her thigh
To take back home at night
The only girl I ever loved
Slept drunk and naked across the floor
Every day of her life
Just to see what it'd be like
The only girl I ever loved
The only girl I ever loved
Sat on her porch and counted the suns
Wishing for a brighter day
Singing songs that go her way
Picking smiles from a hat that say
