(I'll Love You) Until The End Of The World |
|
|
|
It was a miracle i even got out of longwood alive, |
|
This town full of men with big mouths and no guts; |
|
I mean if you can just picture it, |
|
The whole third floor of the hotel gutted by the blast |
|
And the street below showered in shards of broken glass, |
|
|
|
And all the drunks pouring out of the dance halls |
|
Staring up at the smoke and the flames; |
|
And the blind pencil seller waving his stick |
|
Shouting for his dog that lay dead on the side of the road; |
|
And me, if you can believe this, |
|
At the wheel of the of the car |
|
Closing my eyes and actually praying; |
|
Not to god above but to you, saying: |
|
|
|
Help me, girl; help me, girl |
|
I'll love you till the end of the world |
|
With your eyes black as coal |
|
And your long dark curls |
|
|
|
Some things we plan, |
|
We sit and we invent and we plot and cook up; |
|
Others are works of inspiration, of poetry; |
|
And it was this genius hand that pushed me up the hotel stairs |
|
To say my last goodbye |
|
To a hair as white as snow and of pale blue eyes |
|
(::saying:::) |
|
I gotta go; i gotta go, |
|
The bomb in the bread basket are ready to blow |
|
|
|
In this town of men with big mouths and no guts, |
|
The pencil seller's dog, spooked by the explosion, |
|
Leaping under my wheels as i careered out of longwood |
|
On my way to you waiting in your dress, |
|
In your dress of blue |
|
|
|
I said: |
|
Thank you, girl; thank you, girl |
|
I'll love you till the end of the world |
|
With your eyes black as coal |
|
And your long, dark curls |
|
|
|
And with the horses prancing through the fields, |
|
With my knife in my jeans and the rain on the shield; |
|
I sang a song for the glory of the beauty of you |
|
Waiting for me |
|
In your dress of blue |
|
|
|
Thank you, girl. thank you, girl |
|
I'll love you till the end of the world |
|
With your eyes black as coal |
|
And your long, dark curls |
