Tell me where you belong
On a day St. Valentine was too young
To even know what love was

Such a love so strong
For you I will wear no mask
But on the first day St. Valentine saw
That all he knew was wrong

Such a heart knows no enemies
And such a smile knows no hate
Such beauty even the Saints do call
As such a girl deserves it all

As with you my love, every day is Valentines
He whispered to her in warm embrace
Let's go away from this place
Away to the land of you and me

The land of me and you
Keeps disappearing when I awake
As today is the day the Saint knew
That he overslept past Valentine's Day

On his day, St. Valentine celebrates with tears
As for him loneliness sought ease
On this day, St. Valentine falls to his knees
Sometimes I think its just him and me

On the last day, St. Valentine celebrates with a gun
As it was he who lost his only one
For she was afraid of love and devotion
Yet only with a bullet is love a potion

She didn't love me enough
To wait until Valentine's day
Instead she shot in my smile
  Before she turned and walked away

They ask St. Valentine why he doesn't smile
And he says its because the clouds are grey
But when my mother asked me I said
I couldn't wake up in time
For Valentine's day
