Daisy it’s easy to tease you today
with hay and lavenders smelling so sweetly
see by the tree, white warlock is trembling
scared by our happiness, he’s lost his way
you’ve got the key to my heart and mind, girl
turn it once, slowly, and treasures you’ll see
heap upon heap of warm love for your brown eyes
and tenderness plenty to comfort you always
tears to wash slowly over your pains, dear
strong arms to hold through life’s buffeting waves
