I've been looking for someone to thank
For sending down this rain
And I've been wondering who do I thank
For sending you back again'Cause it makes my nibbled lip
And my, from nowhere tears
Feel at homeI feel likeCome lie with me and be my love
Lie down with me
Under the cypress tree
In the sweet grassesCome lie with me and be my love
Lie down with me
Under the cypress tree
In the sweet grasses
As night passesNow my face is neatly decorated with my yellow hair
Striped up by the fat drops fallen there
I squeeze it all out of my corduroy
Like the day you found meThe man who drives this bus
Raised me up a half assed smile in the mirror
But never mind, I'm gonna fold it up press it flat
Stick it in my pocket and make it last me for all nightCome lie with me and be my love
Lie down with me
Under the cypress tree
In the sweet grassesCome lie with me and be my love
Lie down with me
Under the cypress tree
In the sweet grasses
As night passesCome lie with me and be my love
Lie down with me
Under the cypress tree
In the sweet grassesUnder the cypress tree
As night passes
In the sweet grasses
