Ladybug

I was at the well wishing for a good omen
When into my hand did you fly
Like Joplin and Joni, California reaming
Feel a small tickle did I
Falling from my hands and up my sleeve
Don't know what I'd do if you should leave
Busy beetle, make me your blooming flower

Ladybug, you're the only friend I've got
Ladybug, ever hurt you I would not

What is this love they say I should die for
Everyone's talking about?
While I'm lying here by the side of the river
Trying to catch me a trout
They say good things will come to those who wait
But, ladybug, I fear you've come too late
To turn my darkest night into my finest hour

Ladybug, you're the only friend I've got
Ladybug, ever hurt you I would not
Every wave of your wings is as fragile as spring
I must learn many things about love

And in the garden we'll play, we can waste a whole day
You can climb up on me, pick apples from a tree
And then one sunny day, you will fly away
Just because

Ladybug
