Come Lie With Me
Embracing Rain's Gifts: A Serenade Beneath the Cypress Tree
Lyrics
I've been looking for someone to thank for sending down this rain
I've been searching for someone to express gratitude to for bringing this rain.
(And I've been wondering who do I thank
(And I've been wondering who to thank)
For sending you back again)
Reflecting on who deserves thanks for your return.
'Cause it makes my nibbled lip
Because it eases my worried lip.
And my, from nowhere tears
And my tears appearing seemingly out of nowhere.
Feel at home
Makes me feel comfortable and at home.
Come lie with me and be my love
Come lie with me and be my love.
Lie down with me
Lie down with me.
Under the cypress tree
Under the cypress tree.
In the sweet grasses
In the sweet grasses.
As night passes
As night passes.
My face is neatly decorated with my yellow hair
My face is adorned with my yellow hair.
Striped up by the fat drops fallen there
Striped by the fat raindrops fallen there.
I squeeze it all out of my corduroy
I release all emotions from my corduroy fabric.
Like the day you found me
Similar to the day you discovered me.
The man who drives this bus
The bus driver, who raised a half-hearted smile in the mirror, raised me.
Raised me up a half-assed smile in the mirror
But that's not important.
But never mind
I'm going to fold it up.
I'm gonna fold it up
Press it flat.
Press it flat
Stick it in my pocket.
Stick it in my pocket
Preserving it throughout the night.
Make it last all night
Make it last all night.
Come lie with me and be my love
Come lie with me and be my love.
Lie down with me
Lie down with me.
Under the cypress tree
Under the cypress tree.
In the sweet grasses
In the sweet grasses.
As night passes
As night passes.
