I lit a thin green candle
To make you jealous of me.
The room filled up with mosquitos
They heard that my body was free
And I took the dust of a long sleepless night
And I put it in your little shoe
And I must confess that I tortured the dress
That you wore for the world to look through.
And I showed my heart to the doctor
He said, You just have to quit
Then he wrote himself a prescription
And your name was mentioned in it
Then he locked himself in a library shelf
With the details of our honeymoon
I hear from the nurse that hes gotten much worse
And his practice is all in a ruin.
I once knew a saint who had loved you
I studied all night in his school
He taught that the duty of lovers
Was to tarnish the golden rule.
And just when I was sure that his teachings were pure
he drowned himself in the pool
his body is gone, but out here on the lawn
his spirit continues to drool.
An Eskimo showed me a movie
Hed recently taken of you
The poor man could hardly stop shivering
His lips and his fingers were blue
I suppose that he froze when the wind took your clothes
And I guess he just never got warm
But you stand there so nice, in your blizzard of ice
Please let me come into your storm.
Then replay the stanza and hum or Ooo the tune ending with .
