I lit a thin green candle to make you jealous of me |
| [00:19.08] |
the room filled up with mosquitoes |
| [00:25.02] |
they heard that my body was free |
| [00:31.14] |
and I took the dust of a long sleepless night |
| [00:37.14] |
and I put it in your little shoe |
| [00:43.27] |
and I must confess that I tortured the dress |
| [00:49.02] |
that you wore for the world to look through |
| [01:01.58] |
and I showed my heart to the doctor |
| [01:07.58] |
he said, ‘you just have to quit |
| [01:13.83] |
then he wrote himself a prescription |
| [01:19.70] |
and your name was mentioned in it |
| [01:25.83] |
then he locked himself in a library shelf |
| [01:31.89] |
with the details of our honeymoon |
| [01:38.26] |
and I hear from the nurse that he’s gotten much worse |
| [01:44.39] |
and his practice is all in a ruin |
| [01:56.86] |
I once knew a saint who had loved you |
| [02:02.92] |
I studied all night in his school |
| [02:09.24] |
he taught that the duty of lovers |
| [02:15.17] |
was to tarnish the golden rule |
| [02:21.55] |
and just when I was sure that his teachings were pure |
| [02:27.61] |
he drowned himself in the pool |
| [02:33.92] |
his body is gone, but out here on the lawn |
| [02:40.17] |
his spirit continues to drool |
| [02:52.79] |
an Eskimo showed me a movie |
| [02:58.73] |
he’d recently taken of you |
| [03:05.04] |
the poor man could hardly stop shivering |
| [03:11.04] |
his lips and his fingers were blue |
| [03:17.11] |
I suppose that he froze when the wind took your clothes |
| [03:22.98] |
and I guess he just never got warm |
| [03:29.48] |
but you stand there so nice, in your blizzard of ice |
| [03:35.54] |
please let me come into your storm |
