Seeds came in the mail today from Holland And the language on the package is wonderful and strange All sorts of flowers that grow up from the earth In goodly colors gloriously arranged I circled the house and I scattered them around Let the water sink down into the soil Stared a long time at the residue Blood, milk and oil God the humidity is something Our shirts are soaked clean through The house is throbbing and the heat keeps coming And I keep looking at you And then you're singing in Dutch to me And I recognize the song It seems so old and so fragile And I haven't heard it in so long We may throw the windows open later But we are not as far west as you suppose we are Hot wind coming off the water Sky gone crazy with stars While we stay here we imagine we're alive We see shadows on the walls There's something waiting for us in the hot, wet air Sweat, water and alcohol Just the old blood Rising up through the wooden floor again Just the old love Asking for more again

Seeds came in the mail today from Holland
And the language on the package is wonderful and strange
All sorts of flowers that grow up from the earth
In goodly colors gloriously arranged
I circled the house and I scattered them around
Let the water sink down into the soil
Stared a long time at the residue
Blood, milk and oil
God the humidity is something
Our shirts are soaked clean through
The house is throbbing and the heat keeps coming
And I keep looking at you
And then you're singing in Dutch to me
And I recognize the song
It seems so old and so fragile
And I haven't heard it in so long
We may throw the windows open later
But we are not as far west as you suppose we are
Hot wind coming off the water
Sky gone crazy with stars
While we stay here we imagine we're alive
We see shadows on the walls
There's something waiting for us in the hot, wet air
Sweat, water and alcohol
Just the old blood
Rising up through the wooden floor again
Just the old love
Asking for more again
Wonderful!
