The birds know all about it
Kept it secret when I found it
Slow to bloom, such a tease
Timid tongue and buckled knees 
 

Oh hey, oh hey, oh hey
 

The longing yet to taste it
Turned it wayward as I waited
Ribs that fill, soften throat
'Thing with feathers' so she wrote
 

Oh hey, oh hey, oh hey
 

Tantalize me
Tantalize me
The dandelions are going to seed
 

Didn’t mean to keep so quiet
Helpless hush as I went by it
Languid legs holding to
Every thought that followed you
 

So tantalize me
Tantalize me
The dandelions go to seed
 

And the birds know all about it
Kept it secret when I found it
Slow to bloom, such a tease
Timid tongue and buckled knees 
 

Oh hey, oh hey, oh hey
 

So wrap around me
Wrap around me
The dandelions have gone to seed
