A tear from you
Turned me
Into a fool.
Oh' Alexia true, I'm to you
Like sunshine to the flower,
Like the wind to the sky.

I have two nickels and
A wish of two other dimes.
You crying, me sighing,
Oh' I know we don't have
Very much time.

But look forth, the sky is shining
Just for you and I.
The river too, it roars for you,
Just like the sky in its
Endless blue.

Pink bike in front of your porch.
You're the fire to my torch.
A night shimmering whites and blues,
With mother hen home stirring the stew.

A prayer for thought, hell, a quarter too.
The grass is green as can be, can you see?
But I know you'll be leaving in the morn' anyway.
People forget: Love you gotta' pay to play.

Thorny bush beside your bedroom window.
A whisper and a toss of pebble.
Oh' you know I'm not trying to get you into any trouble,
But these love songs of mine
Are too watery to remember.

Since we don't have many hours,
Let's look forward to the crystal tower.
Let's watch it stand, let's watch Her sing,
Wondering how we'll later take this pain away.

Notes of pressed records
Ring in my ear.
You're here with me baby.
You've got nothing to fear.

Sweet lilac of white.
Hold me closer, hold me tight.
Don't you throw it all away tonight,
That just wouldn't be right.

Wish the dusk to be dawn.
Keep your eyes open my fawn.
The wine we poured is still sweet,
Hand me your glass.
Here, I'll rub your feet.
