Neutered Fruit

It's not "Did you ever write a prayer for me?" It's "Did you ever ride a bear for me?"

Beautiful song, Ms. Clark is a goddess.

These lyrics should actually be: "I ate flowers in the backyard, A finely neutered fruit."

and

"Shot a hundred arrows at a doe, A hundred sparrows booed."

I think this song could be about leaving a relationship and finally realizing the other person's faults- "Did you ever ride a bear for me?/Did you ever really care?" (this is shown throughout the song). Its almost like the narrator is trying to reassure him/herself that it was always their ex who was the problem, although subconsciously they still remember how much they loved their ex- "Like I cared for you". Also how they miss them and care for them- "Don't run little rabbit run". The narrator is also thinking about how they did so much in the relationship, and their ex was so lazy- "Did you ever ride a bear for me?". The "Don't run /Don't run little rabbit run" could also be sarcastic, like saying '' that was a bad example but you get the idea. Anyway, that's just a thought.

Reminds me of Marina Abramović, a Serbian performance artist - in 2010 she performed "The Artist is Present" at the Museum of Modern Art. She would sit immobile opposite a chair in which anyone could sit and she would silently maintain eye contact with them. People went through intensely emotional experiences - fear, love, challenge, anger...some of the performances are on Youtube, it is fascinating to watch

story of my life.

The missing lyrics might be:

Don't run, Don't run, little rabbit run Don't run, Don't run, little bunny run

and

Don't run awry (x4)
