I want to find this girl I knowI need to take her outI set a snare in evening airMade of faith and hope and doubtI want to spend some time with herLearn the secrets of her tradeI wouldn't mean to cross the lineAnd look into the other sideForbidden to my kindForbidden to my kindI need to hang out with my loveThe raven-headed spriteI know I'll never dance like herOr keep her up at nineI need to hang around with herI need to let her knowHer cause is mineI'm but a slaveI look into her wondrous gazeAnd taste the strangest coreAnd make the purest noiseWhat I would do to make the girl stand out in the rainI serve my window watching close, she will appear againStill polishing her crazy hairStill whispering curlies, drunk on songIf I could only right my wrongs and take her to her favorite placeAnd steal a melodyCause I need only see her faceA thousand worries fall awayAnd music rushes inListen to the sound of lifeDrink deep of the dayWait for her, but don't obsessShe called beyond the wayWinds will blow and stones will rageThe music's always sadMoney tends to disappearBeauty crumbles with the yearsBut music is for usMusic is for usWhat I would do to make the girl stand out in the rainI serve my window watching close, she will appear againStill polishing her crazy hairStill whispering curlies, drunk on songIf I could only right my wrongs and take her to her favorite placeAnd steal a melodyCause I need only see her faceA thousand worries fall awayAnd music rushes inIf I could only see her face and know that he was closeThere is a deeper logic here, the everlasting museI left the danger for a nightI left the sadness for a dayAnd know that I am in safe handsShe'll peel the filth and old cigarAn everlasting songShe waves her money straight with zealI know she'll start without delayA tapestry of wordsA subtle gift to modern rockShe says, be popular, play popAnd you will win my loveA subtle gift to modern rockShe says, be popular, play popAnd you will win my love
