wanted, wanted,
summer strangers borrowed wife
traveling the night
with her white knight
till she got out of sight

i’m her and i’ll never show
and i’d lie if i’d say
“you know
i don’t dream for your embrace
and your lips that’d turn into a bow”

singing oh, that ringing
in every street light
darling!
your deep sunken eyes
could see through my lies

babe i was wrong
but i don’t wish to kiss you
just cause i miss you
so take down that warrant
that you issued

but i’ll still take a ride
in those strange summer nights
when you were my white knight
and i,
your borrowed wife

lonely island of the atlantic
your glistening waves carry bottled words
left by old romantics,
traveling earth
yes the lonely island of the romantics

on your sandy dunes and
bright lit moon’s shine
i need you so bad
would you let me in
a new resident,
a lady gone mad

lonely island of the atlantic
your glistening waves carry bottled words
left by old romantics
traveling earth
yes the lonely island of the romantics

your palmy trees greet me
by your imperfect breeze
oh please let me in, let me in
i’m begging on my knees!

lonely island of the atlantic
glistening waves carry my bottled words
left by me, your romantic,
traveling your earth
yes the lonely island of the atlantic

lonely island of the dramatic
lonely island of the romantics
these are my bottled words

tales tell Eves tears turned to lilies of the valley as she was cast from the Garden of eden
well babe you already know my name
and my tears, oh you’ve seen them

so don’t you go and hang your head
lilly of the valley style
for when i come,
i come to say goodbye

i wanted to give you my life
but babe now i’m scared that you’ll take it
there ain’t a strong bone in my body
and ain’t a gentle one in yours
so when you come on here to greet me
i come on out for one last time

to see you hang your head
lilly of the valley style
for when i come,
i come to say goodbye

and if i cry babe
we’ll have
sweetly scented
bell shaped
goodbyes

for your head to hang
lilly of the valley style
for when i come,
i come to say goodbye

melancholy tunes,
smiling faces,
the warmth of flames around you

in all of the dark places
where we play like we do

nothing changes
but our melancholy tunes,

the smiling faces,
on all of the cold stages
where we play like we do,

i still feel the warmth
of flames around you

i gotta stay sober,
you’re an ******  
you’re killing me,
it gets me in a euphoric state
you’re too persuasive,
***** poppy,
your spell casts perfectly in my body
and you make me your dolly

You came to me in my dream,
dressed in shiny red and seeds
and for a second
i forgot all about my needs,
your language was something man can’t speak
and your shape was simply just a lead,
in reality you rest on my chest
by my beads

forests green embrace my mind
the harsh branches look soft from the meadows behind
in fleeting moments birds shadows pass
and the trees move,
a hypnotizing dance
a melody’s whispering from afar
“the deeper the trees go the deeper they are”
i’ll try and listen to the songbirds warn
not to get lost in your hazel charms
