“Penny Rabbit & Summer Bear”

Penny Rabbit & Summer Bear

by Kishi Bashi

Under the ocean, far from the sun
Penny Rabbit, wondering
"When will we ever become one?
Must I suffer days to come?"
Fresh out of wishes, fate wouldn't dare
He had to see his Summer Bear
Filled up his little lungs with air
It didn't matter, he didn't care

Faithless and mystic, faint as can be
Penny Rabbit floated fast
Planted his paws upon the shore
Many others had failed before
Waiting was Summer Bear
Eyes to the sea, fingers on her violin
Playing for butterflies and bees
A little shaky at the knees

Summer Bear with that slender hair
And that smile she sent to me
It's more than I can bear, wondering
"When will you have the courage to
Sing a song with me and you over here?"

On the shore, Penny Rabbit emerged from the sea
His fur was ripped from his journey
"Summer Bear, I've come for thee"
He had seen it in his dream
Sunset, holding hands, salt in the air
Penny Rabbit, Summer Bear
A fairy tale, a perfect pair
None in memory could compare

Summer Bear with that slender hair
And that smile she sent to me
It's more than I can bear, wondering
"When will you have the courage to
Sing a song with me and you?
Come to you, whatever you do, anywhere"

Summer Bear
One day, very soon
Once upon a moon
One day, very soon
Summer Bear
