Dairymaid's Lament

Lyrics

Perforated figurine Who's quiet drawing his britches No longer way to go than by the barn

A simple dairymaid's lament I know exactly what she meant Could you begin to tell her no?

I hold the floor, and after that I hold her to the other Later on I'll see what she can do

Are you ever really sure? Can there be a reason? Do you ever really speak at all?
