GIVE A LITTLE

Hey, my lantern of the morning,

you belie the others' warnings,

ease my nightly affliction.

Like an infant or addiction,

you give a little and

take a little more

than before

forever and evermore.

Well, your one side is silence,

and the other side violence;

and your one tongue is a liar,

while the other takes me higher.

You give a little and

take a little more

than before

forever and evermore.

Honey come again in twos,

once for me and once for you.

I say yours, and you say his.

Tell me, baby, how it is

you give a little and

take a little more

than before

forever and evermore.
