You are the love of my life
Nothing compares to
A lonely minute with you

Pull me close in the night
Two knots you tie
To keep me on your side

I’m in the back of your mind
Always beside you
When you feel left behind

D’you want potatoes or rice tonight?
Pick up some onions
I’m making dinner

I’m soaking beans on the side
Chopping tomatoes
While you wash the rice

You sing along to your favourite songs
But you don’t know the words
So you make up your own

I’m feeling sexy tonight
I’ve got my Kikos on, and my hair is —
Somewhere in my smile I know
I’ll never find no other lover

A metal spike from the sky
Precise and poisoned
Somehow avoided me

I pull you close in the night
But you’re not there
To make the knots that you tie

Now you’re a river in me
You’re in my bones
I wanna swim to the sea

Under the phosphorous light
I cannot find you
You are the love of my life
