 Start with your fingers, they finger the change 
 that carries you home in the evening 
 You're beestung there 
  
 Press your palm to your snowcoated thought cage 
 Carries me over your thinking 
 You're beestung there 
  
 Between the tall buildings are snowcoated alleys 
 Between us is nothing but grace 
 Snow rides the wind down and drives past the window 
 Falling all over your face 
 I fly out the window and then ride the wind down 
 You fit me into my place 
 You're beestung here 
  
 Start with your eyes when they eye me in twilight 
 Picking up pieces of mine 
 Tie me up with the twine in your eyelight 
 String me from heaven to time 
 You beestung me 
  
 Between the tall buildings are snowcoated alleys 
 Between us is nothing but grace 
 Help me up when you hear me behind you 
 Falling all over the place 
 It's not too late 
 It's not too late 
 It's not too late
