| [00:06.001] |
I lit a thin green candle To make you jealous of me |
| [00:17.502] |
But the room just filled up with mosquitoes |
| [00:23.053] |
They heard that my body was free |
| [00:28.653] |
Then I took the dust of a long sleepless night |
| [00:34.555] |
And I put it in your little shoe |
| [00:39.525] |
Then I confess that I tortured the dress |
| [00:45.282] |
That you wore for the world to look through |
| [00:56.193] |
I showed my heart to the doctor |
| [01:01.754] |
He said I'd just have to quit |
| [01:07.006] |
Then he wrote himself a prescription |
| [01:12.270] |
And your name was mentioned in it |
| [01:17.970] |
Then he locked himself in a library shelf |
| [01:23.826] |
With the details of our honeymoon |
| [01:28.739] |
and I hear from the nurse that he's gotten much worse |
| [01:33.693] |
and his practice is all in a ruin |
| [01:45.095] |
I heard of a saint who had loved you |
| [01:50.096] |
So I studied all night in his school |
| [01:55.646] |
He taught that the duty of lovers |
| [02:00.880] |
Is to tarnish the golden rule |
| [02:05.503] |
And just when I was sure that his teachings were pure |
| [02:11.667] |
He drowned himself in the pool |
| [02:16.617] |
His body is gone but back here on the lawn |
| [02:22.070] |
His spirit continues to drool |
| [02:32.524] |
An Eskimo showed me a movie He'd recently taken of you |
| [02:42.976] |
The poor man could hardly stop shivering |
| [02:48.226] |
His lips and his fingers were blue |
| [02:53.176] |
I suppose that he froze when the wind took your clothes |
| [02:58.827] |
And I guess he just never got warm |
| [03:03.627] |
But you stand there so nice in your blizzard of ice |
| [03:07.922] |
O please let me come into the storm |
