Lyrics for Lwonesome Tonight

Hark the greening of the eth Curl-ed ferns yet to uncurl Hark the zingen of the birds Gurrel yearns yet to un-girl Beech and aller, woak and birch, Biddle, bull-head, squirrel's drey Willow, aspen, elder, larch, Soldier-King on Maundy day In her satchel, Pepsi fizz, Peanut-and-banana sandwiches, For this man her shepherd is. Parts her bready-lips: Are you Elvis? Are you God? Jesus sent to win my trust? Love Me Tender are his words, As I have loved you, so you must... Thrice she draws her lips to kiss Mouthing for his mouth in vain Thrice her lwonesome kisses miss My love, will you come back again?
