My mind is a night garden heavy with shadow it stares
 Your eyes adjust to the dark
 
 All the eastern girls
 Are wondering back from St. Martins
 Skin [...]
 But all the eastern girls
 They arrive like a king's pardon
 To the sound of bells
 
 Only just getting to know you
 Running the flag up to claim it
 Acted like I was your savior
 The Shepard instead of the lamb
 
 Night falls in and the skyline hardens
 Colors dissolving until
 Faces are lost among the stars
 
 All the eastern girls
 Like stars as the night sharpens
 They remind me of
 
 Only just getting to know you
 Running the flag up to claim it
 Acted like I was your savior
 The Shepard instead of the lamb
 Been walking around with my eyes closed
 Keeping away from your windows
 Fearful eviction horizons
 But you took my life in your hands
 
 All the eastern girls passing by
 All the eastern girls remind me that
 
 This is a love song (repeat)
 
 Sha-lalalalala-la
 
 Only just getting to know you
 Running the flag up to claim it
 Acted like I was your savior
 The Shepard instead of the lamb
 Been walking around with my eyes closed
 Keeping away from your windows
 Fearful eviction horizons
 But you took my life in your hands
