Bear me far, but not too far to sea
Less mama worry sick.
Love me deep, but not too deep a kiss
Less I won’t go back.
Touch me, caress me, then don’t come back,
Less I miss confession.
Remember me Jack but don’t write,
Papa knows the postman.
Owl-whistle behind the barn,
Less Mama is still awake.
You can love me and kiss me deep,
For confession be next week—
Time will humble the lie.
Not keep me waiting Jack,
For this fire won’t die
Till with you I lie
Tonight.
