Song For Yvonne Lyrics

Song For Yvonne

Yvonne in the Rutles movieLove can make a castle
From the sands of time
A brown paper parcel
Full of nursery rhymes
Existential knick-knack's
Sitting on a shelf
Talking to a mirror
Talking to himself

Lots of little footprints
Shaped like a silver spoon
Running in and out of rainbows
Splashing through the moon
Reflected in the meadow's early evening dew
Ah, but I'm in love with you

And then we open up our eyes
To see the clouds go rolling by
And then the sun comes shining through
Oh my love, how I love youNeil Innes - Song For Yvonne - http://motolyrics.com/neil-innes/song-for-yvonne-lyrics.html

The stars are in the trees
To sing the birds to sleep
And asking all the rooftops
"Is there a chimney sweep?"
We can't see in the houses
If the chimney's blocked
Is she ironing trousers?
Is she darning socks?

We don't know if she's happy
We don't know if she's sad
Surely washing nappies can't be all that bad
Compared to what old age and loneliness can do
If someone's still in love with you

And then we open up our eyes
To see the clouds go rolling by
And then the sun comes shining through
Oh my love, how I love you
Oh my love, how I love you
