lyrics

Love me on the rooftop
Take my beauty and my youth
Where no eyes can find us
Only hands will know the truth
Of my love for you
My love, my love, my love
Oo-ooh
When you’re a girl
Nothing tastes better

Do-do-do...

Lai-da-dai...

You’re out across the water
As I bring to life this child
Still I know you’re listening
To his singing new and wild
But that was long ago
I count the days in kisses as they fall
Now I sleep with ghosts
It’s easy when you love them most of all

These are my
Ladies of the valley, of the mountain, of the coulee, of the wall

And they whisper:

"Don’t you know it’s alright
Can’t you see the blood red
Don’t you know it runs deep
Don’t you know it’s all in your head"

"Don’t you know it’s alright
Can’t you see the blood red
Don’t you know it runs deep
Don’t you know it’s all in your head"

Sweet mother, don’t your worry
That tomorrow will betray
All the love you find as fleeting
For I know your strength will stay
Solid inside of you
And what you ask for then will come to you
Breathe in day and moon
And trust that what you’ve come to know is true

Lai-dai-lai-dai-da-dum...
