She is the sweetest thing that I know
Should see the way she holds me when the lights go low
Shakes my soul like a pothole every time Took my heart upon a one way trip
Guess she went wandering off with it And unlike most women I know
This one will bring it back whole
* Daisies, daisies perched upon your forehead Oh my baby, lately I know
** That every night I’ll kiss you, you’ll say in my ear
Oh we’re in love, aren’t we? Hands in your hair
Fingers and thumbs, baby I feel safe when you’re holding me near
Love the way that you conquer your fear You know hearts don’t break around here
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
She is the river flowin’ Orwell And tin wind chimes used for doorbells
Fields and trees and her smell fill my lungs Spend my summertime beside her
And the rest of the year the same She is the flint that sparks the lighter
And the fuel that will hold the flame, oh
( * , ** )
Well, I’ve found love hidden inside The arms of the woman I know
She is the lighthouse in the night That will safely guide me home
And I’m not scared of passing over Or the thought of growing old ‘Cause from now until I go
