Three trees and a hedgerow
Lost in the country lanes
On a moonlit Saturday night
I was your prize
You were my treasure
My pain was to realise
I couldn't make your measure
I still have a mind full of desires
Forever a receiver of pleasure
Three chimneys and a steam cloud
Count the cost of staying sane
In the Monday mornings early light
I was stained, drained way too deep
You said, it's fine, just don't stop swimming
My mind, in check, I try to keep
Yet often now you'll find me grinning
I still have the physical urges
Sinfulness you see forever purges
