lyrics

This here’s my sweetheart
Sweet in name, but sweeter in soul
Gust of cold wind in the hot August air
weaving mandavillas through her hair,
she’ll cast a spell on you

And she much prefers the sandy earth
to wrap around her fingers than golden bands and diamonds,
meaningless things her image could be captured in
when her canvas warps and fades

She doesn’t care for the austere,
more inclined to the pleasant and wild
She’ll leave you with a song and a prayer
that heaven could be half as mild
as she, oh yes, she is my sweetheart

The mortal coil wasn’t ready to bind you
you ran off to where the fates call us
You had no more time to waste it was all just old news to you

She doesn’t care for the austere,
more inclined to the pleasant and wild
She’ll leave you with a song and a prayer
that heaven could be half as mild
as she, oh yes, she is my sweetheart
