Lyrics

Only a word is in my mind
We'll get high
We'll go watch the lacewings fly
We'll get high
We'll go watch the lacewings fly
Ever since I saw you
Ever since I saw you, I
There are violets on the shore
There are violets on the shore, tonight
Only my words are real, tonight
We'll get high
We'll go watch the lacewings fly
We'll get high
We'll go watch the lacewings fly
All the autumn patients
Reaching out their arms towards the fire
Close my eyes this sleepless night
Close my eyes and I am burning higher
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye goodbye
Written by: Alasdair MacLean
