Forget Me

Lyrics for Forget Me

All trees are oaks And all birds are blue In the mountains of a magnet And the mountains of you I'm proud of my genius just like a painter And dumb like a poet I think I can, I think I can Just say it from the throats From the throats of our wrists With full sets of teeth Vanilla almond teeth From vanilla almond tea Spent afternoons Spent afternoons Measuring time in spoons Where forget-me-nots and marigolds And other things that don't get old Just don't get old But between one June and September You're all I remember But I'm a lantern, my head a moon, I married a room I married a room Where all trees are oaks And all birds are blue Well ach' du What's 80 miles in Canada Or 18 years in mountain time, time A southern run for a late longing to drink Where all trees are oaks And all birds are blue Well ach' du And all trees are oaks And all birds are blue Ach' du I thought everyone was you Where forget-me-nots and marigolds And other things that don't get old Don't get old But between one June and September You're all I remember But I'm a lantern, my head a moon, I married a room I married a room Forget-me-nots and marigolds And other things that don't get old Don't get old (forget-me-nots and marigolds) But between one June and September You're all I remember (forget-me-nots and marigolds) But I'm a lantern, my head a moon, I married a room (forget-me-nots and marigolds) I'll keep my hands in order And what about the air, the air, lying awake And what about the air, the air, lying awake
