[Verse 1]
           
    Hello old 

          
lovers of mine
            
    My little 

    
boy wishes
             
    Of fortune

   
's kisses
            
    Now dreams

      
 cast aside

             
    In the fad

    
ing light
            
    Your crown

    
 of thorns
             
    Becomes a 


halo
            
    Of branchi

   
ng horns
           
    And yet so

         
 beautiful


[Chorus]
            
    I see you 

      
gently swaying
             
    In a sea o

  
f seesaws
            
    Slumming i

      
n the shack
             
    Tony built

      
 last year
            
    I know you

       
'll be holding
             
    Court with

 
 jackdaws
            
    Crying whe

   
n nobody
             
    Ever sees 

      
your tears
            
    When no on
