Keep them in a cardboard box
Through the tickings and the tocks
I will treasure all your teeth
We will make a braid of gold
Your laughter and the pearls beneath
Sheet of silk and soul within
For you to keep when you are old
Floating in the sultry air
Put this kiss upon your brow
Spread them in the sun to dry
I will gather all your hair
Diamonds from each time you cry
Now I kiss your milky skin
