Lyrics
Love's a rover
and I am too
standing in the bone palace
with you.
The old man said,
why don't you sing?
Better yet, wait until spring.
You might be an only child,
but that's no excuse
for running wild.
Fine. When there's a way,
you know there's a will
to climb up suicide hill.
Try it your own way,
if you can, don't presume
I'll understand.
Fine.
