Underneath The Orchard Wall

from Dear Dionysus, Sweet Aphrodite by The Here and Now

lyrics

Darling, put that old dress on. Let’s not give a damn. Let’s let that old rusty screen door slam. We’ll push that county line then we’ll be gone. We’ve waited on this light so long. Bless me Union, bless me State, I can’t wait to find a seedy bar where we don’t belong. So don’t go chasing those ghosts just yet. I’ll get you home and then we’ll make a bet. We’ll see how long you can ignore these glances of mine. I just won so baby pour some wine. You’re asking what I’m falling for. I’ll sing you this little song here at a quarter to four. You know I always think much clearer when I hear her that coming Dawn. Now you’re asking what it feels like to fall. I think you should ask the leaves beneath the orchard wall. Just let me hold you tight for at least another night. The sun steals rooftops from the dark as we lie awake, drunk on Fate, please heart don’t break. Deceive my eyes and tell me that’s no lark. Your fingertips emit a spark. So tell the sun to flee. For you and me those nightingales sing free to tell the world of how we left our mark. So don’t go chasing those ghosts just yet. I’ll get you home and we’ll make a bet. We’ll see how long you can ignore these glances of mine. I just won so baby pour some wine. You’re asking what I’m falling for. I’ll sing you this little song here at a quarter to four. You know I always think much clearer when I hear her that coming Dawn. Now you’re asking what it feels like to fall. I think you should ask the leaves beneath the orchard wall. Just let me hold you tight for at least another night.
