I don't compensate much for beauty but
You hang your picture well
And I'll be tied down forever
Truly, under your vines I am
In your backyard
Where all the leaves have died
When the flowers arrive
Why won't you settle down?
I wait all night like
Choir of the lilies
They keep me warm
I sing all night like
Choir of the lilies
We sing off-key
I'm in your backyard
Tell me one thing that you love about me and
I'll give you anything
An empty bank account, a car that starts
Sometimes
Waiting idle, for us
In your backyard
Where all the leaves have died
When the flowers arrive
Why won't you settle down?
I wait all night like
Choir of the lilies
They keep me warm
I sing all night like
Choir of the lilies
We sing off-key
I'm in your backyard
When the flowers come
Why won't you settle down?
I don't compensate much for beauty but
I'll give you anything
