I've been looking for someone to thank

For sending down this rain

And I've been wondering who do I thank

For sending you back again

'Cause it makes my nibbled lip

And my, from nowhere tears

Feel at home

I feel like

Come lie with me and be my love

Lie down with me

Under the cypress tree

In the sweet grasses

Come lie with me and be my love

Lie down with me

Under the cypress tree

In the sweet grasses

As night passes

Now my face is neatly decorated with my yellow hair

Striped up by the fat drops fallen there

I squeeze it all out of my corduroy

Like the day you found me

The man who drives this bus

Raised me up a half assed smile in the mirror

But never mind, I'm gonna fold it up press it flat

Stick it in my pocket and make it last me for all night

Come lie with me and be my love

Lie down with me

Under the cypress tree

In the sweet grasses

Come lie with me and be my love

Lie down with me

Under the cypress tree

In the sweet grasses

As night passes

Come lie with me and be my love

Lie down with me

Under the cypress tree

In the sweet grasses

Under the cypress tree

As night passes

In the sweet grasses
