lyrics

She stands in there
defiantly with a smile like a razor blade
Something in the air
strikes up my mind and goes straight to my head
A sunny day
Gives me another reason to stay
But she wishes the thought away
making it rain to keep all hearts at bay

Oh Jessamine raised an eyebrow
When I told her I loved her so
Oh Jessamine
Oh Jessamine
I love you though

I wasn’t there
I wasn’t there by accident
I got to give her a present
That wouldn’t stir up no excitment
Down in her street
I was waiting on the pavement
waiting for her to hear my screed
But she just continued to read

Oh Jessamine raised an eyebrow
When I told her I loved her so
Oh Jessamine
Oh Jessamine
I love you though

An exquisite corpse
gives me another reason to die
Under the torch,
for the first time I saw her cry
Down in the grove
I’ll bring a shovel and my love
Looking above
I know you’re somewhere up in the sky

Oh Jessamine raised an eyebrow
When I told her I loved her so
Oh Jessamine
Oh Jessamine
I love you though
