Du du dum
Verse 1
Baby, baby brush the dust of youth from off your shoulder
Because the years of threading daisies lie behind you now
Don't return to fields of green where rainbow secrets were told
Place your ragged doll with all the toys and paints and beads
I will show you gain where the winner never wins
Let your hair hang down
Wear the dress your Mother wore
Let me sleep beside you
Du du du du du du du du dum dum
Du du dum
Verse 2
Lock away your childhood and throw away the key
For now the streets and city sounds will burn your eyes as coals
You shall drink the oldest wine and velvet skies will linger
Child, you're a woman now your heart and soul are free
I will hold a lighted lamp and we shall walk together
Bridge
Your darkened eyes close free but your lips are void of mystery
You could not imagine that it could happen this way could you
Horns
I will give you dreams and I'll tell you things you'd like to hear
Let your hair hang down
Wear the dress your Mother wore
Let me sleep beside you
Du du du du du du du du dum dum
Du du dum
Let me sleep beside you
