David Byrne - Lilies of The Valley lyrics

Momma she had complications

There's nothing very strange about that

Nuns said "we can't kill that baby

We'll have to let your mother die"

We are all just lilies of the valley

We neither reap nor sow

We need to get our hands a little dirty

To make our gardens growhey hey

Way too many people on this island

Getting way too crowded on this boat

Need someone to bail some water

If we're gonna keep this thing afloat

I like a little sugar in my coffee

I don't mean sweet 'n' low

You don't know what you want until you find it

I believe you'll tell me so

I need a little water in my garden

I need a little sunlight on my head

I need someone to cover me with kisses

When I'm all alone and scared

We are all just lilies of the valley

We neither reap nor sow

We need to get our hands a little dirty

To make our gardens grow

I like a little sugar in my coffee

I don't mean sweet 'n' low

I - like to cover me with kisses

To make my garden grow
