Carrot, My Darling

Lyrics

Verse 1
You came home with garden dirt
Still clinging to your golden skin
I held you like a promise
And let the whole world wait outside

Pre-Chorus
They laugh when I say your name
But they don’t know what I know
You keep my heart from going cold
Wherever you may grow

Chorus
Carrot, my darling, I’m yours for all my days
Through every season, through the rain and the heat
Carrot, my darling, no root could hold me down
I’d cross the whole wide garden just to lay my heart at your feet

Verse 2
Your green hair in the window
Your orange dress beside the sink
I wrote you little love notes
On the grocery list in ink

Pre-Chorus
They say this love is foolish
Maybe foolish love is true
I never knew what home could mean
Until I came to you

Chorus
Carrot, my darling, I’m yours for all my days
Through every season, through the rain and the heat
Carrot, my darling, no root could hold me down
I’d cross the whole wide garden just to lay my heart at your feet

Bridge
If time should turn your bright coat pale
If winter takes the garden bare
I’ll keep the little crown you wore
And love you just as fiercely there

Guitar Solo

Final Chorus
Carrot, my darling, I’m yours for all my days
Through every season, through the rain and the heat
Carrot, my darling, no root could hold me down
I’d cross the whole wide garden just to lay my heart at your feet

Outro
My sweet, my one and only
I’ll love you patiently
Carrot, my darling
You’re the root of me
