Lilah

歌詞

Like every young man, I had some things that I Wanted to say Ere I could begin, you know the world got In my way Oh Lilah, to sleep like a baby To open the window and reel the fair wind Oh Lilah, to sleep like a baby again We spend so much time weeping and wailing and Shaking our fists Creating enemies that really don't exist Oh Lilah, to sleep like a baby- To open the window and feel the fair wind Oh Lilah, to sleep like a baby again All these comings and goings that cut like a knife These small, simple pleasures that make up a life A man needs a home, and a child, and a wife To always be there-always After I'm gone, there are some things that I know I will miss: The taste of your mouth, the smell of the perfume On your wrist Oh, Lilah, the fields lie fallow What are ye sow, so shall ye reap Oh Lilah, this ground we hallow Is ours to tend, but not to keep Too-rah, loo-rah, loo-rah Lilah Too-rah, loo-rah, loo-rah lay Now, while all the streets are silent Take my hand and come away
