[Verse 1]
My wife said in the kitchen,
“There’s a pattern on the mustard spinach leaves.”
I replied, “Oh, that’s it. A leaf miner.”
She said, “A leaf miner?”
[Pre-Chorus 1]
“A little artist,” she smiled.
“It’s a baby leaf miner fly,” I explained.
[Chorus 1]
A message from the spring breeze,
A small gift arrived for us,
Flowers bloomed in abundance,
And birdsong called to us.
[Verse 2]
“Oh, a fly?” she asked. “Yes, a fly,” I replied.
“So the baby is a maggot,” I explained.
“Are the leaves dead?” She asked.
“Maybe the leaves aren’t dead,” I said.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
“Maggot, please give us some leaves too.” She said.
“No, I don’t think that’s going to happen,” I said.
[Chorus 2]
A message from the spring breeze,
A small gift arrived for us,
Flowers bloomed in abundance,
And birdsong called to us.
[Instrumental Solo]
[Verse 3]
“If you eat it with leaves.”
“A leaf miner will appear in our hand.”
“Maybe it will appear on our cheek?” She asked.
“No, it’ll be cooked, so it’ll be dead,” I replied.
[Pre-Chorus 3]
She tore off a leaf and threw it away.
Just a few tiny leaves, stems, and flowers.
[Chorus 3]
A message from the spring breeze,
A small gift arrived for us,
Flowers bloomed in abundance,
And birdsong called to us.
[Bridge]
“Leaf miners and leaf miner flies are bird food.”
“Maybe that’s why they were singing,” I said.
“Do birds sing about the arrival of spring?” She asked.
“Well, that’s true,” I replied.
[Final Chorus]
A message from the spring breeze,
A small gift arrived for us,
Flowers bloomed in abundance,
And birdsong called to us.
[Instrumental Solo]
