lyrics

my dreams went wild when I met you
on sweet mango, short-grain rice
we hummed our wings 'neath mountain leaves
on a farm for fireflies

we hummed for the fierce and the fallen
brought tears to their feline eyes
and last we hummed to collapse in grass
moon-gazing side by side

oh the moon, she moves you
she sways you to and fro
sway back to me, sway back and sing,
“Sweet Mango, Short-Grain Rice”

alone, I'm much too frail to sing
alone, too frail to hum
sway back to me, sway back and sing,
“Sweet Mango, Short-Grain Rice”
