I have a mandolin
|
I play it all night long
|
It makes me want to kill myself
|
I also have a dobro
|
Made in some mountain range
|
Sounds like a mountain range in love
|
But when I turn up the tone
|
On my electric guitar
|
I'm afraid of the dark without you close to me
|
I went out to the forest and caught
|
A hundred thousand fireflies
|
As they ricochet round the room
|
They remind me of your starry eyes
|
Someone else's might not have made me so sad
|
But this is the worst night I ever had
|
'cause I'm afraid of the dark without you close to me
|
You won't be happy with me,
|
But give me one more chance
|
You won't be happy anyway
|
Why do we still live here
|
In this repulsive town?
|
All our friends are in New York
|
Why do we keep shrieking,
|
when we mean soft things?
|
We should be whispering all the time...
