about

Funny - "Lily" became a real person after the song was written.

lyrics

Broken down love all tattered and blue, seeking salvation under stars, under the moon…locked in your arms would I forever be, upon a gaze, upon a sigh, upon a twinkle upon the sea.
This, the last one I swear, of a love that’s so true, that hauls me away like a demon, like a storm. My life is so haunted and tangled with you, so caught up in love song, so riddled by truth. Well, I’ve never been so haunted ever since I was born.

Broken down love song all tattered and blue, making me long for your smile and your beauty. Beauty that’s deeper than I ever knew. Always “Lily”, who’s kisses are laying me to swoon.
They carry me higher in my mind, my memory. In the midnight of longing, they slay me all anew. “Lily” is a lady in my life-living history, she’s laying out love song, so fragrant and so sweet. Well I’ve never been so haunted ever since I was born. Broken down love, all tattered and blue.
