Black Locust from The Double by Charming Disaster

In the black locust tree, the white flowers bloom
Paper lanterns send out their perfume
The moon floats above, a tethered balloon
Cicadas not singing but they’ll be here soon

Lay in the grass and look up at the sky
Earth at your back and the blue in your eyes
Hold on tight darling, for if you let go
You’ll float like a cloud or a little white boat

Rolling over and over
Cicadas singing their tune
Are you drunk on the clover
Or under the spell of the moon

White flowers bloom in the black locust tree
The delicate blossoms are just out of reach
The sun pours down honey so thick and so sweet
The taste’s on your lips as you’re falling asleep

Rolling over and over
Cicadas singing their tune
Are you drunk on the clover
Or under the spell of the moon

It’s late in the evening, the little lights shine
Will you be sorry to leave this behind
Hushaby darling and dream of the day
The tether will snap and the moon sail away
