Cuckoo Cuckoo (Live in Malta)
[Intro]
How I lost my boy
How I lost my boy
How I lost my boy
How I lost my boy
How I lost my boy
How I lost my boy
How I lost my boy
How I lost my boy
How I lost my boy
[Verse 1]
The king in I died
You keep floating past my eyes
And singing your songs
Life was good, now death's all wrong
When you can't feel a thing
No heart murmurs in the spring
You just drift and pray
For sun-kissed golden days
[Chorus]
And all those raindrops in my hand
They make me sad, make me sad
People gonna come and ask me why
Come with me, a working guy
Sometimes all I want is one favorite song
And two to three minutes don't seem so long
And where's my mom, I want to hold her tight
She's so far away from crowded nights
I'm going cuckoo cuckoo
I'm going cuckoo cuckoo
We're all going
[Verse 2]
I said please stay
You can see me, don't go away
I can't see the landscape
Please describe its amaranthine haze
It's odd where I am
They're people, you're not like them
They just look away
For rain-quenched golden days
[Chorus]
And I can't hold what's in my hand
Don't do any good to say this isn't what I planned
And where's my mom, I want to hold her tight
She's so far away from crowded nights
Sometimes all I want is one favorite song
And two to three minutes don't seem so long
And where's my girl, I want to hold her tight
Can't you come with me, a full-time travelling guy
I'm going cuckoo cuckoo
Well I'm going cuckoo cuckoo
We're all going
[Chorus]
But I can't hold what's in my hand
There isn't any time and I can't win 'em all
People gonna come and ask you why
Can't you come with me, a full-time working guy
Sometimes, don't try to erase what you have done
Put some things in an [?] isn't the one
And where's my wife, I want to hold her tight
She's so far away from crowded nights
I'm going cuckoo cuckoo
And I'm going cuckoo cuckoo
We're all going
