Took It for a Twinkle by Holopaw Lyrics

They dream impossible dreams of loquat seeds (gold flecked and slippery)
And clipper ships pitched on sea foam green
Hibiscus reds and you and me

We kicked a new path back to the St. Marie past snowmen quiet and listening
Brightly colored birds flitted past their coal-for-eyes. I took it for a twinkle

If they could have held all that you said...
In their densely mitten packed cold
Then words would have fallen out come Spring like spoons and pistols
And pots and pans
And train wrecks and splitshots and marching bands

And canaries light on corncob pipes
And would not look so bright
If not so cold

They dream impossible dreams
Of bitter sweet brevity
And standing at the foot of Niagara Falls
And buck and doe
And chief and squaw
And the path we kicked back to St. Marie past snowmen
Quiet and listening
Canaries tracing loopholes against the gray
You took it for a tangle
You took me for a tangle
If they could have held all that you said...
Canaries light on corncob pipes
And would not look so bright
If not so cold
