lyrics
When your heart goes out to the stork that delivered you
And the dark sky over your island appeals to you
Then you can't untwist what you thought was true
'Cause your love's too close to see you through
Well do you call it foe or do you call it friend
This dream of dying at the end
Do you curse at all the time you spend
Just 'a wishing old love back again
And when you arrive and decide to be beside yourself
May no one lay you down
And when you do find to be kind's opened a real wealth
May no one steal your crown
Just say what I see come to life for me
Well no one's going to find me now
'Cause I done escaped but I don't know how
I split to tombstone from the grave
And make the ghost pay my way
And when you arrive and decide to be beside yourself
May no one lay you down
And when you do find to be kind's opened a real wealth
May no one steal your crown
Just say what I see come to life for me
Darlin' my love what you do to me I can't explain
Just don't know when I come back to you
Won't be the same
When your heart goes out to the stork that delivered you
And the dark sky over your island appeals to you
Then you can't untwist what you thought was true
'Cause your love's too close to see you through
You trip so hard and the floor falls through
And you can't call home what you come back too
