Porch Hedgehog

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I saw you by the fence in the morning grass Little round ball of thorns moving too fast You took my fallen plum from the cracked blue dish Then curled up small again like you made a wish [Pre-Chorus] Tiny armored heart with a nose for rain You don't ask for much you just come again [Chorus] Hedgehog, hedgehog roll right home Hedgehog, hedgehog never alone Little spike crown on the yard dirt road Hedgehog, hedgehog take my name and go (hedgehog) [Verse 2] You cross the stepping stones like you own the place One quick snout, one blink then you vanish from my face I leave the porch light low and a shallow bowl You leave a trail of hush down the garden row [Pre-Chorus] Tiny armored heart with a nose for rain You don't ask for much you just come again [Chorus] Hedgehog, hedgehog roll right home Hedgehog, hedgehog never alone Little spike crown on the yard dirt road Hedgehog, hedgehog take my name and go (hedgehog) [Bridge] If the dogs all bark and the gate swings wide You just fold up tight and wait inside But when the figs are ripe and the air turns slow You come back through the clover like you always know [Final Chorus] Hedgehog, hedgehog roll right home Hedgehog, hedgehog never alone Little spike crown on the yard dirt road Hedgehog, hedgehog take my name and go (hedgehog)
