Lyrics
Danny and I were talking Just the other day Under the kitchen light on the cold linoleum He said this line of work teaches you many things But it won’t teach you to be a man All my life I’ve been looking for someone to look after me All my life I’ve been looking for a maid Then I met you in the garden Smelling flowers i’m the shade I said, “Hello” You said, “Love is like a daylight when it fades away” We made a pact We drew blood in the night We gutted ourselves in the harsh sunlight I wore your dress and tights You wore my shirt and jeans We felt like ladybugs on a leaf of evergreen I did not know a storm word ravage this place I did not know you held so many tears in your face Did not know I was imperfect Didn’t know I was no saint Didn’t know my hands could destroy as much as they create I helped him up from the ground where he fell I said, “You took quite the spill” He said, “I’m fine, oh, the wind just knocked me down” That the weather here is the same all year round I did not mean to lie right through my teeth I did not mean to cause you any lost sleep So many things I didn’t mean to do I only ever meant it when I give myself to you Oh, oh it’s gonna be a long time Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, it’s gonna be a long time Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, it’s gonna be a long, long, long time Oh, oh, it’s gonna be a long time Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh
