Shonali Bhowmik Alligator's Tale lyrics

When I met you in the orange grove
The pickers placed their bets
With baskets full of daffodils
you offered me your hat.
Saving me from the poisonous sun
Boxing up my cares.
Tying up my broken heart
with an alligator's tail.

Lets go to the Cypress swamp
and hide out with the bears
Get tangled up in the tupelo
they'll catch us if they can.

It's utterly marvelous
that you boxed up all of my cares

and you tied up my broken heart
with an alligator's tail

Lizards are monitoring
all of our moves
when it gets late don't take me away
a kiss will not do.
Then we'll holler for the poisonous sun.
and box up all our cares
and I'll tie up your broken heart with an alligator's tail
I'll tie up your broken heart with an alligator's tail
and I'll tie up your broken heart with an alligator's tail
