Till the End of the World

It was a miracle I even got outta Longwood alive
This town full of men with big mouths and no guts
I mean, if you can just picture it
The whole third floor of the hotel gutted by the blastAnd the street below showered in shards of broken glass
And all the drunks pourin' outta the dance halls
Starin' up at the smoke and the flames
And the blind pencil seller wavin' his stickShoutin' for his dog that lay dead on the side of the road
And me, if you can believe this, at the wheel of the car
Closin' my eyes and actually prayin'
Not to God above, but to you, sayin'Help me girl, help me girl
I'll love you till the end of the world
With your eyes black as coal
And your long dark curlsSome things we plan, we sit and we invent and we plot and cook up
Others are works of inspiration, of poetry
And it was this genius hand that pushed me up the hotel stairs
To say my last goodbyeTo her hair white as snow and her pale blue eyes
Sayin' "I gotta go, I gotta go
The bomb and the bread basket are ready to blow"
In this town of men with big mouths and no gutsThe pencil seller's dog spooked by the explosion
And leapin' under my wheels
As I careered outta Longwood on my way to you
Waitin' in your dress, in your dress of blueI said thank you girl, thank you girl
I'll love you till the end of the world
With your eyes black as coal
And your long dark curlsAnd with the horses prancin' through the fields
With my knife in my jeans and the rain on the shield
I sang a song for the glory of the beauty of you
Waitin' for me in your dress of blueThank you girl, thank you girl
I'll love you till the end of the world
With your eyes black as coal
And your long dark curlsI said thank you girl, thank you girl
I'll love you till the end of the world
With your eyes black as coal
And your long dark curlsI said thank you girl, thank you girl
I'll love you till the end of the world
With your eyes black as coal
And your long dark curlsI said thank you girl, thank you girl
I'll love you till the end of the world
With your eyes black as coal
And your long dark curlsThank you girl, thank you girl
I'll love you till the end of the world
With your eyes black as coal
And your long dark curls
