Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We speak in the store
I'm a sensitive bore
You seem markedly more
And I'm oozing surprise
[Verse 2]
But it's late in the day
And you're well on your way
What was golden went gray
And I'm suddenly shy
[Verse 3]
And the gathering floozies
Afford to be choosy
And all sneezing darkly
In the dimming divide
[Verse 4]
And I have read the right books
To interpret your look
You were knocking me down
With the palm of your eye
[Verse 5]
This was unlike the story
It was written to be
I was riding its back
When it used to ride me
[Verse 6]
And we were galloping manic
To the mouth of the source
We were swallowing panic
In the face of its force
[Verse 7]
And I am blue
I am blue and unwell
Made me bolt like a horse
[Verse 8]
Now it's done
Watch it go
And you've changed some
Water runs from the snow
[Outro]
Am I so dear?
Do I run rare?
And you've changed some
Peach, plum, pear
Peach, plum
