Our bed we live Our bed we sleep Making love and I become you Flesh is warm With naked feet Stabbing thorns and you become me Oh, I'd beg for you Oh, you know I'll beg for you Pick a song and sing a yellow nectarine Take a bath I'll drink the water that you leave If you should die before me Ask if you can bring a friend Pick a flower Hold your breath And drift away She holds my hand We share a laugh Sipping orange blossom breezes Love is still But sweat remains A cherished gift unselfish feeling Oh, I'd beg for you Oh, you know I'll beg for you Pick a song and sing a yellow nectarine Take a bath I'll drink the water that you leave If you should die before me Ask if you can bring a friend Pick a flower Hold your breath And drift away She tells me things I listen well Drink the wine and save the water Skin is smooth I steal a glance Dragon flies are flying over Oh, I'd beg for you Oh, you know I'll beg for you Pick a song and sing a yellow nectarine Take a bath I'll drink the water that you leave If you should die before me Ask if you can bring a friend Pick a flower, hold your breath And drift away
