K:C W:1 W:I lit a thin green candle W:To make you jealous of me W:But the room just filled up with mosquitoes W:They heard that my body was free W:Then I took the dust of a long sleepless night W:And I put it in your little shoe W:And then I confess that I tortured the dress W:That you wore for the world to look through W: W:2 W:I showed my heart to the doctor W:He said I'd just have to quit W:Then he wrote himself a prescription W:And your name was mentioned in it W:Then he locked himself in a library shelf W:With the details of our honeymoon W:And I hear from the nurse that he's gotten much worse W:And his practice is all in a ruin W: W:2 W:I heard of a saint who had loved you W:So I studied all night in his school W:He taught that the duty of lovers W:Is to tarnish the golden rule W:And just when I was sure that his teachings were pure W:He drowned himself in the pool W:His body is gone but back here on the lawn W:His spirit continues to drool W: W:4 W:An Eskimo showed me a movie W:He'd recently taken of you W:The poor man could hardly stop shivering W:His lips and his fingers were blue W:I suppose that he froze when the wind took your clothes W:And I guess he just never got warm W:But you stand there so nice in your blizzard of ice W:Oh please, let me come into the storm % % % % % % % % % %]
