Let me tell you a story about a girl I knowShe is so beautiful
With flowers in her hair
Her perfume smells like summer air
And her lips are the sweetest like honey and milk
And her skin white like cocaine but soft as silk
And her hair is as black as a reservoirAt midnight and still and it takes me so far
So far that I don't believe that there is an end
But if there is I will climb out, dive in againWe picked daisies and I made a chain
Asleep in the grass, both feeling insane
And if this isn't love don't show me the truth
I said if this isn't love
I'm gonna need someTiny wild flowers all tied in your hair
Like stars in the sky just floating there
A constelation gorgeous and new
You called it The Lovers
I believed it was trueAnd all of a sudden you rose from our nest
No longer felt love
I felt sorrow instead
As you walked you combed out your hair
And all the flowers fell like birds through the airWe picked daisies and I made a chain
Asleep in the grass, both feeling insane
And if this isn't love don't show me the truth
I said if this isn't love
I'm gonna need someLike stars in the sky
Falling to earth
The Lovers are dead
The Lovers are cursedWe picked daisies and I made a chain
Asleep in the grass, both feeling insane
And if this isn't love don't show me the truth
I said if this isn't love
I'm gonna need some
