lyrics

Mandolin, broken string, got a crack in your front.
Who was it that broke your heart?

Wooden frog, on the sill, can you croak croak croak?
And are you lonely in the dark?

Oh windy organ, won’t you sing me a song? Song, song, song, song song song…
Oh windy organ, won’t you hold me for a long, long, long, long, long, long while?

Piano keys, black as coal and ivory.
What a sad, sad history.
I’ve got melting feet in this sweltering heat.
Hey soul! You better simmer down.

Oh windy organ, won’t you sing me a song? Song, song, song, song song song…
Oh windy organ, won’t you hold me for a long, long, long, long, long, long while?
Until the stars come out again, dancing in a masquerade.
Nothing like a dead quiet parade.
Pomegranates and lemonade, let’s swallow butterflies together babe,
And make the living go hazy again.

Who needs that boy's love anyway?
