Oh! the morning he saw me appear,
he gave me his voice and his dreams for a year
he learned a new song with a dulcet refrain
and lulled me to sleep in my spirit domain   

somehow I knew it wouldn’t work out
I thought I drew the cards and he drove the route

he gathered the roots that grow down by the stream
inventing a charm that extended my dreams
he passed me in silence as winter turned spring
intrepid evasion of scissors and string

somehow I knew it wouldn’t work out
I thought I drew the cards and he drove the route

deep in the garden I sift through the leaves
and I’m sewing my lecherous heart on my sleeve,
find me another unworthy soul to reave 

he’s somewhere in Mykonos biding his time
collecting sweet moments with honey and wine
but I know tomorrow he’ll walk on the sand
and sink into sea with his soul in my hand  
      
somehow I knew it wouldn’t work out
I thought I drew the cards and he drove the route

deep in the garden I sift through the leaves
and I’m sewing my lecherous heart on my sleeve,
find me another unworthy soul to reave
