Lyrics
CLOVER
c.1995 Lyrics & Music by Sally Fingerett
I see the twilight just over your shoulder
So many stars holding together.
Just like these heavens, we?re constant and brilliant
Silver gray spinning together.
We have the moon, we have the dawn
In between we?re dancing in clover,
In clover.
I see in your clear eyes, an unspoken question
How one simple wish hands you a lifetime.
Why were we chosen to share all these moments
My heart of hearts, I have not one notion.
But we have the moon, we have the dawn.
We have our dances in clover,
In clover.
Now there goes a young pair held fast in their passion
Entwined in desire of the moment
Will they, or won?t they have wishes and lifetimes
Some questions have not an answer.
But they?ll have moons, they?ll have their dawns
They?ll have their dances in clover,
They?ll have their moons, they?ll have their dawns
They?ll have their chance in the clover,
Until it?s over.
