I got a stick and a bed in the rye Give me the chance, I'll be there by your side It's a long cold country with nobody home If you want to face it you can face it alone or with me Yeah, but if you don't watch me closely I'll flee to the wood Leave a gap in your heart where a boy once stood Cut it off but still it grows Back in all the places you don't want it show the most If you're still having trouble, go call up your priest Tell him there's some fella giving you grief It's that lanky old loner on the outskirts of town
Telling you lies and wearing you down And if he can't help, you go call the judge Tell him you're afraid you've fallen in love There's nowhere to go but down from here So come along, baby, we got nothing to fear I forgot her Moment that I saw her Scream and shout and wake the silent mountains It's perfect at large, perfect at large Perfect at large with nothing to do When no one at all, no one at all No one at all is searching for you Aaaaaah, oooooh Ah ah ah, aaaah Aaah, ah
