Dangling from a ballustrade of shilly-shally
Overlooking infinity and this ecstasy
Of you lying next to me
And in a peculiar way you clutched me
By the shoulder, said "Boy I barely know you
But would you marry me? "
We were floating about with our heads in the clouds
And stealing those words from my mouth
You whispered in my ear
Exactly what I wanted to hear
I composed a note of such jubilant things
And placed it between bed and spring
Of a hostile hostel overrun with
Shedding towelettes and Mexican maids
And with indefinite fate I clutched you by the shoulder
And said "Girl, I barely know you...
But will you marry me? "
I felt a love of such deafening weight Dangling from a ballustrade of shilly-shally Overlooking infinity and this ecstasy Of you lying next to me And in a peculiar way you clutched me By the shoulder, said "Boy I barely know you But would you marry me? " We were floating about with our heads in the clouds And stealing those words from my mouth You whispered in my ear Exactly what I wanted to hear I composed a note of such jubilant things And placed it between bed and spring Of a hostile hostel overrun with Shedding towelettes and Mexican maids And with indefinite fate I clutched you by the shoulder And said "Girl, I barely know you... But will you marry me? " Explain Request ×
