Sugar lyrics

Artist  : Heather Nova 
Song : Sugar
 
On the vermont transit bus I leaned my arm into
alittle chink of sun,

Going somewhere older
than I was,

Strapped into something tight,
keeping me small.

I dug into you like rock
climbing;

Too scared of coming down,

Too scared of going up,

Too scared of
rockface.

I should’ve split my sides or
spilled my guts or hit you or something,

But I was good, and your father’s little
pancakes

So round and perfect and me
sitting up too straight,

Laughing in wrong
places, kissing you,

Kissing up, kissing
too soon.



When the cock crows

When the morning comes where will I go? 

When the cock crows

When the love is
gone where will I go? 



And when you
got me pregnant I stopped the party and

I
stopped the typewriter and I stopped your dumb
ball game in the red barn and i

Stopped
your father and bled instead.

And I felt
the lie - something sticky on the inside,

A
bitter wind in my throat,

Stopping me
wanting,

In my stomach, in my head and you
said



Sugar sugar, you couldn’t
come come

Sugar sugar, without your
mother

Sugar sugar, you couldn’t taste
it

Sugar sugar, in my throat.



When the cock crows

When the morning
comes where will I go? 

When the cock
crows

When the love is gone where will I
go?
