As thAme bell towerF blocks theF summer light
AmAll the sFeeds in our gFarden fight
To bAmreak Gand bFlossom, all to Ebe adored
And look, your skFirt is torn
And there's blGood on our sheets
As comes theAm long aFrm oFf the law
AmFist tFight, baFnging on the door
And kAmnockGing mFe down on its wEay in F G
As I pass out into a dream
Of whooping cranes and wooden beams
Great white wings beating
In an attic, in a house, in the dead of night
Singing
FOh,G my AmAuguGstiFne, AmAugGustiFne
FOhG, is this fAmoreGveFr, AmeveGr?F
FOh, Goh
Sweet AmAugGustFine, AmAugGustFine
What dFoes this mGean for us?
Does it mean that I can never change my ways?
And that's why, love, you shouldn't stay
Still you will and love me
Like a mother or a maid bringing you down, down
Down on your brazen knees
Watering the worms and the weeds
Thinking, why does love leave me so damn cold?
Now I'm getting old
And is this what it should be?
Well, is it?
Oh, my Augustine, Augustine.
Oh, is this forever, ever?
Oh, oh
Sweet Augustine, Augustine
Or Fdo we kill thGis one tonFight? F

And now come the AmteaFrs, hFeavy and hot
AmAs it comes cFlear, this is aFll we got
As I hAmold yGou tFo my bed
Like a caEncer, or a cFurse
Now be my loGving nurse
As we fall back iAmnto tGhe impFossible drAmeam
