Song For Yvonne
|
|
Yvonne in the Rutles movieLove can make a castle
|
From the sands of time
|
A brown paper parcel
|
Full of nursery rhymes
|
Existential knick-knack's
|
Sitting on a shelf
|
Talking to a mirror
|
Talking to himself
|
|
Lots of little footprints
|
Shaped like a silver spoon
|
Running in and out of rainbows
|
Splashing through the moon
|
Reflected in the meadow's early evening dew
|
Ah, but I'm in love with you
|
|
And then we open up our eyes
|
To see the clouds go rolling by
|
And then the sun comes shining through
|
Oh my love, how I love you
|
|
The stars are in the trees
|
To sing the birds to sleep
|
And asking all the rooftops
|
"Is there a chimney sweep?"
|
We can't see in the houses
|
If the chimney's blocked
|
Is she ironing trousers?
|
Is she darning socks?
|
|
We don't know if she's happy
|
We don't know if she's sad
|
Surely washing nappies can't be all that bad
|
Compared to what old age and loneliness can do
|
If someone's still in love with you
|
|
And then we open up our eyes
|
To see the clouds go rolling by
|
And then the sun comes shining through
|
Oh my love, how I love you
|
Oh my love, how I love you
|
