I was walking down the dock, I met a fisherman with a clock
|
I asked him do you have the time, to read me back some lines
|
In a tiny little verse I wrote when I was sailing on a boat
|
I had to write them on my shirt about a love that starts to hurt
|
but feels like a miracle when it starts
|
With stars and sparkling hearts, splashed all over the internet and everybody knows I bet
|
That there's unicorns in France and fairies who love to dance
|
They point at the devil in the weeds, I think he's after me
|
But this is love (who do you love? Who? Who?)
|
The fisherman pulled a knife, like he would fight me for his life
|
He'd fought all the monsters in the sea so he wasn't scared of me
|
I don't read out loud for free he said, so what's in it for me then Fred
|
I told him he can have the rhyme and everything that's mine
|
If he agreed to be the voice who would read out loud the choice
|
That a girl I knew once made, and if he knew he's be afraid
|
But I kept the truth under my hat and he agreed to read it back
|
And that was how we struck the deal for him to put away his steel and read of love
|
(Who do you love? Who? Who?)
|
(Who do you love? Who? Who?)
|
Here I am, lying down on the driveway with the kittens and the moon is out
|
There's snow all on the ground
|
We were inside they were restless coz I think they miss their mother
|
so I took them out to play, I couldn't sleep in there anyway
|
and they danced and snowy crystals lit by moonlight in the midnight
|
floating all around, kicking snow up from the ground midnight darkness and the sparkle,
|
it was there that I could see that you were gone for good, and I understood.
|
That the moon light and the silence and the snowflakes and any magic wasn't good enough.
|
I wasn't good enough for you to stay.
