Lilies Of The Valley Lyrics by David Byrne

Lilies Of The Valley Lyrics

    Momma she had complications
    There's nothing very strange about that
    Nuns said "we can't kill that baby
    We'll have to let your mother die"

    We are all just lilies of the valley
    We neither reap nor sow
    We need to get our hands a little dirty
    To make our gardens grow, hey hey

    Way too many people on this island
    Getting way too crowded on this boat
    Need someone to bail some water
    If we're gonna keep this thing afloat

    I like a little sugar in my coffee
    I don't mean sweet 'n' low
    You don't know what you want until you find it
    I believe you'll tell me so

    I need a little water in my garden
    I need a little sunlight on my head
    I need someone to cover me with kisses
    When i'm all alone and scared

    We are all just lilies of the valley
    We neither reap nor sow
    We need to get our hands a little dirty
    To make our gardens grow

    I like a little sugar in my coffee
    I don't mean sweet 'n' low
    I - like to cover me with kisses
    To make my garden grow
