Because I turned my eye toward U Because I seek your hand Every other woman envies U And me, every other man A massive circle of jealousy Is coming round again Those prickly fingered scallywags That masquerade as friends Make a promise this very night That they will no longer pose A threat to either 1 of us Then let the chapter close For all the midnights, in the world This 1 will serve us better If U choose to be my girl Like Susan's petals A wonderful life, the 2 of us shall lead The children of the future've all the Spiritual food they need The secrets that the 1s before With grace, they've come and shown 2gether with love 4 1another We shall make them known With the love and happy days I number the grains of sand Writing 12 times ever more If I could be Ur man Amethyst and rubies Crystals and black pearls I trade them all, just to spend with U All the midnights, in the world All the midnights, in the world
