I'm quenching my incessant thirst for beauty Tasting the orange skylight Quenching my incessant thirst for beauty Sensual girls pass me by All dressed in autumn and silk
I'm painfully searching for perfection Though I know there is none to be found Constantly hoping for affection For a queen I'm determined to crown Delicious as coffee with milk
I'll dream a dream I haven't dreamt before Then recall the half-forgotten her
Sea green ribbons in her lovely ginger ringlets A cobblestone road clad in gold Sea green ribbons in her lovely ginger ringlets Never does what she's told I'm the shoulder for her to cry on
Adore her smile As if a child Yes I am I've found my heaven in the morning sun Half as gentle as her arms
She could have filled the empty half of me Behind that moss-grown wall Should have filled the empty half of me Drown in the ice blue skies And you'll see that here it's not cold at all
How predictable but how beautiful The scent of coffee tops up the air so cool
Hour by hour Collecting moments Airing thoughts I wonder how she's going to sleep tonight Lights on for departure, all right
Hour by hour Collecting moments Airing thoughts I wonder how I'm going to sleep tonight I'd steal her for sure, all right
