Whatever Lovers Say

I come to see you in the market
Where the buyers buy and sell their wares
I want to reach into your apron
Take your hands and save you from this fate
Like to invite you to my lighthouse
Show you boats and woo you like the sailors do
But I can only see you in the market place
With a little ring I’ll probably never bring to you
We’d watch the early morning street cleaners cleaning streets
With eyes wide awake until the vampires hit their sheets and
We’d find a way to turn the hours into weeks
And then we’d say whatever lovers say
Want to impress you with my palace
When I make money I’ll buy a little place for two
But I just rent a bedsit here in Paris
Could it be good for a prince like you
We’d watch the early morning street cleaners cleaning streets
With eyes wide awake until the vampires hit their sheets and
We’d find a way to turn the hours into weeks
And then we’d say whatever lovers say
We’d live a longer life than candles that everybody buys
At local discount stores
We’d watch the early morning street cleaners cleaning streets
With eyes wide awake until the vampires hit their sheets and
We’d find a way to turn the hours into weeks
And then we’d say whatever lovers say
