The Turnip

There was a time and there was a place

When we were one

And it was so still and it was so dark

And the place was my tongue

And there came a time and there came a place

When the bun was well done

We had waited the time, we had counted it out

We had done all the sums

So they tried to coax with the needles and smoke

And they stuck in the pins and they burnt my toes

And the moon was pink, and then the moon turned dark

And you had started to start

You had started to start, you decided to start

And the moon was dark

Oh, in your power, oh, where should I start?

Start to explain how lucky we are?

'Cause he stayed with me and he stayed with you

Holding on all the time

And he stayed awake, and he didn't sleep

And the next day we cried

'Cause the turnip had turned

Oh, the turnip had turned

Oh, the turnip had turned

Oh, the turnip had turned

Oh, the turnip turned

Oh, the turnip had turned
