In The Yard

I met two girls in boulder, we were standing in the cold

I said: There’s only room for one of you to live inside my home

But this, this is not my home

The first one took my mind away, the second took my name

Oh yeah, she writes me lovers every day but I need her all the same

I need her all the same

But you’re my leech

I hope you never leave me

You could live inside my heart, killing people just to eat, you’re mine

And if you ever grow old

I will hold you in my hands and tell you just how beautiful you are

When all the old folks went to bed, the gardener was spent

And the children playing quietly, I lost my only friend

And you held my head

The wind it whipped the trees around, it was snowing in the yard

So you ripped a piece right off your shirt and tied it round my arm

And said: I’ll keep you warm

Yeah you’re my leech

I hope you never leave me

You could live inside my heart, killing people just to eat, you’re mine

And if you ever grow old

I will hold you in my hands and tell you just how beautiful you are

I hope you never leave me

You could live inside my heart, killing people just to eat, you’re mine

And if you ever grow old

I will hold you in these hands and tell you just how beautiful you are
