Baby Mosquito - Hawksley Workman

Baby mosquito, you hardly got time

Baby mosquito, you’re not a lover

In summer nights it’s just hard

With the lights and the trees

Got you down on your knees

Oh baby, it’s hard to believe

From the swamp under leaves

That one day you would cry

And baby mosquito, beware of dragon flies

Baby mosquito, flash back to past lives

When you were frozen in amber so deep

There was peace, it’s a waiting disease

And baby, it’s hard to believe

From the ground under trees

That one day you would cry

And baby mosquito, why don’t you aspire?

And baby mosquito, why don’t you make them alive?

'Cause after you’re gone

There’ll be blood to be drawn from the sea

And the fire flying knights

And the bats without sight who believe

Oh, malarial nightmares

That keep you from sleep next to me

Got me down on my knees

And baby, it’s hard to believe

From the swamp under leaves

That one day you would cry
