I've pulled down my lace and the chintz.
  Oh, do you know you have the face of a genius?
  I'll send your love to Zeus.
  Oh, by the time you read this,
  I'll be well in touch.
  
  I'm giving it all in a moment or two.
  I'm giving it all in a moment, for you.
  I'm giving it all, giving it, giving it.
  This kicking here inside
  Makes me leave you behind.
  No more under the quilt
  To keep you warm.
  Your sister I was born.
  You must lose me like an arrow,
  Shot into the killer storm.
  
  You and me on the bobbing knee.
  Didn't we cry at that old mythology he'd read!
  I will come home again, but not until
  The sun and the moon meet on yon hill.
  
  I'm giving it all in a moment or two.
  I'm giving it all in a moment, for you.
  I'm giving it all, giving it, giving it.
  This kicking here inside
  Makes me leave you behind.
  No more under the quilt
  To keep you warm.
  Your sister I was born.
  You must lose me like an arrow,
  Shot into the killer storm.
