The Crosslegs - Gild The Lily Lyrics

Tik tok a scene was rosy
Sole thing to seize again
Wits they met a world so lousy
And mislaid me plain within

I wish that I could wish that I could
Wish that I could be that strong
And I wish that they could wish that they could
Wish that they could prove I'm wrong

Oh I'm so tired today

Moonshine takes me to the city
I cannot hold the fire inside
Finding lassies all too pretty
Come distract me comely-eyed

I wish that I could wish that I could
Wish that I could be that strong
And I wish that they could wish that they could
Wish that they could prove I'm wrong

I'm so tired today

Now all my thoughts are linen
I have made to gild this frame
Linen is all my thoughts have been given
They are made to shroud her name
