[Verse 1]
Along the early evening
In a spray of gasoline
I'm secretly watching how she leans
Against the hedge
I feel no need to tell her
About my joy in her every move
Feeling no need to intrude
'Cause she's so loose, so loose
Oh, so loose
She hands me a piece of the sun
All unaware that there's one
Reeling her into his eyes
Just as the night has come on
A dazzling piece of the sun
Is oozing from her pale green eyes
The night's got no direction
So that is the one I'll take
Seeing it through and stay awake
'Cause it's so clear
Nothing can distract me
Put the car into gear
Nothing can drive me out of here
'Cause it's so tied, I'm all tied
Oh, so tied
She hands me a piece of the sun
All unaware that there's one
Reeling her into his eyes
Just as the night has come on
A dazzling piece of the sun
Is oozing from her pale green eyes
The summer is long, the leaves are still green
The scents are so strong and it seems
Like forever won't be enough
And if you should die before I get close
I promise I will visit your grave
Every day and bring you purple flowers
There's still songs to sing
There's still wine to drink
There's still time
