I want you alone
Even if we're just talking
Oh, my love
Lay with me softly, girl
Your siren song will lead me on
To my home
I want you alone
Even if we're just walking
Oh, by my side you hold my hand
But it slips away
On that autumn day, as you fade away
In the night
I've got a tree I could chop down
I've got some matches and some gasoline
But you won't make us a fire, lord
Just a flame snuffed out
And no quiet kiss on the mouth
I want you alone
Even if we're just dreaming
Oh, in my dreams you were a killer for my love
But I died a long time ago
And it was when you said hello
My soul went cold and I killed my family and I shot a cop, oh
But nothing's ever lost
Nothing's ever lost in love
I got you on my mind
All the time, all the time
You're just the same as I left you
You were red-eyed and stoned and blue
I want you alone
Even if we're just making love
Oh, my god
Lay with me softly, girl
Your siren song will lead me on
To my home
