My mind is a night garden heavy with shadow it stares
Your eyes adjust to the dark
All the eastern girls
Are wondering back from St. Martins
Skin ...
But all the eastern girls
They arrive like a king's pardon
To the sound of bells
Only just getting to know you
Running the flag up to claim it
Acted like I was your savior
The Shepard instead of the lamb
Night falls in and the skyline hardens
Colors dissolving until
Faces are lost among the stars
All the eastern girls
Like stars as the night sharpens
They remind me of
Only just getting to know you
Running the flag up to claim it
Acted like I was your savior
The Shepard instead of the lamb
Been walking around with my eyes closed
Keeping away from your windows
Fearful eviction horizons
But you took my life in your hands
All the eastern girls passing by
All the eastern girls remind me that
This is a love song (repeat)
Sha-lalalalala-la
Only just getting to know you
Running the flag up to claim it
Acted like I was your savior
The Shepard instead of the lamb
Been walking around with my eyes closed
Keeping away from your windows
Fearful eviction horizons
But you took my life in your hands
