lilly lou
That ole cat,
She don't move
Lies on her bed
In a store front window,
On a street, street of the dead.
Doesn't move at all.
Don't feel that moving call.
Lilly Lou, Lilly Lou.
If you only knew.
I could die happy
In heart an' mind
If i could see you move
For just one time.
Just one time.
I'm gonna flow through that window
One dear day,
Lay down with you,
Close my eyes an' stay.
Till the whole world,
Whole world
Moves away
(Takes all its mice
An' moves away)
We're gonna move the whole world
Some sweet day.
Make it all just move away.
All move away.
I'm goin' t' beg forgiveness
Go down on my knees
Ask just once
For your release
From my sin
Of disturbing your peace,
Just for only this one time.
Lilly Lou, Lilly Lou.
If you only knew.
I could die happy
In heart an' mind
If i could see you move
Just one time.
For just one honey sweet time.
C'mon sweetheart, just one time.
