lay down with me barbara

The Darkness

Leaves are rustling
Rustling in the sultry evening breeze
I don t wear pyjamas
Trust me darling, you don t need that chemise
I know it s hard to love a man like me
But you do so with the greatest of ease

We created tender love from scratch
Don t you think it s time we made another batch?

Oh, lay down with me, barbara
Underneath the candelabra
Oh, lay down with me, barbara
Or I will die
I will surely die

Who needs moonlight?
Moonlight s rubbish anyway, my dear
When the clouds obscure it
I ll look upon you neath the chandelier
Let us not waste a precious moment blindly
Fumbling with the clasp of your brassiere

We created tender love from scratch
Don t you think it s time we made another batch?

Oh, lay down with me, barbara
Underneath the candelabra
Oh, lay down with me, barbara
Or I will die
I will surely die

Oh, lay down with me, barbara
Underneath the candelabra
Oh, lay down with me, barbara
Or I will die
I will surely die
Surely die

Just bury me, barbara
Bury me in a coffin full of money
And I ll love you throughout the afterlife
I love you girl
