[Verse 1] Walnuts near the wall. Next day, a little closer. Some days he came close enough to touch. Some days he stayed back. [Pause] [Verse 2] Once he bit my finger. Next day I put the walnuts out again. [Pause] [Verse 3] Walnuts behind the shutter. He waited for us to come out. Climbed the wall. Climbed the door. I stayed there. [Instrumental Gap] [Verse 4] One day he didn't come. The next day, nothing. [Pause] The walnuts stayed there. [Instrumental Turn] [Verse 5] Another winter. Another grey squirrel by the wall. I put the walnuts down. Then went back inside. [Pause] [Outro] He came. Took one. Then another. I stayed inside.
