"Amoreena" lyrics

Amoreena

Lately I
I've been thinking
How much I miss my lady
Amoreena
Is in a cornfield
Brightening the daybreak

Living
Like a lusty flower
Running through the grass for hours
Rolling through the hay, oh
Like a puppy, child

And when it rains
The rain falls down
Washing out the cattle town
And she's far away somewhere
In her eiderdown

And she dreams of crystal streams
Of days gone by
When we would lean
Laughing
Fit to burst
Upon each other

I can see you
Sitting, eating
Apples in the evening
The fruit juice
Flowing slowly, slowly, slowly
Down the bronze of your body

Living
Like a lusty flower
Running through the grass for hours
Rolling through the hay, oh
Like a puppy, child

And when it rains
The rain falls down
Washing out the cattle town
And she's far away somewhere
In her eiderdown

And she dreams of crystal streams
Of days gone by
When we would lean
Laughing
Fit to burst
Upon each other, oh

Oh, if only
I could nestle
In the cradle of your cabin
My arm's around your shoulder, whoah
The window's wide and open

While the swallow
And the sycamore, whoah
Are playing in the valley
Oh, I miss you, Amoreena
Like the king bee misses honey

And when it rains
The rain falls down
Washing out the cattle town
And she's far away somewhere
In her eiderdown

And she dreams of crystal streams
Of days gone by
When we would lean
Laughing
Fit to burst
Upon each other

And when it rains
The rain falls down
Washing out the cattle town
And she's far away somewhere
In her eiderdown

And she dreams of crystal streams
Of days gone by
When we would lean
Laughing
Fit to burst
Upon each other, oh

Lately
I've been thinking, oh
How much I miss my lady
Amoreena's
In a cornfield, oh
Brightening the daybreak

Living
Like a lusty flower
Running through the grass for hours
Rolling through the hay, whoah
Like a puppy
Like a puppy, child, oh
