Mariam’s Cake Songtext
von Robin Grey

Meadowlark
Shouldn′t you fly somewhere warmer, my dear?

Let's go outside
Holding hands
Meadowlark
You know this is my favourite time of the year
Let′s go outside
Holding hands

Enter the day, hey
I just arrived, so I'll take my time
Hour by hour we see
That there is no hurry, we just take our time
Meadowlark
I checked in the book and it's not what it seems


Let′s go outside
Holding hands

Hey, what′s up, trees?
Who gave you orders to drop all those leaves?
Well, if you must, oh
I suppose
Ever since the day we fell up to stand down
There were mice in the aisles dressed in frocks and in gowns
You won't tell me it′s likely, I won't tell you the news
So we stand here in the dirt getting puddles in our shoes


Wondering why
Wondering why
′Cause you count the numbers and I count the cost
And although we're a good team, well, something′s been lost
'Cause it's not been the same since the mice moved upstairs
Dreams of Maryam′s cake go down well with Sancerre
Wondering why
Wondering why, why, why, why, why
