Little Jack Horner fell in love with the witch up on the moon
Her name was Mother Hubbard she kept whiskey in her cubbard
So her wings were made of spoons
They dated for a week and they married on the beach
But the witch thought it was soon
So the three blind said it was all very nice and they moved up on the moon

They had a little girl,her name was Bo Peep
She was pretty she was bright
She put on her red coat and went to see grandma
But disappeared in the night
Jack wouldn't eat fat, Hubbard wouldn't eat lean
So they got into a fight
Jack grew a beanstalk, big and green
So they climbed into the sky

Somewhere in the clouds they lost each other
When the cow jumped over the moon
But old Mother Hubbard found little Miss Muffet
Now their on their honeymoon

    Its about Craig Minnowa's son, who when he was two in 2002. I didn't realize when i first heard the it, I thought it was just a quirky song. Gives it a whole new meaning, doesnt it?

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
