If You Want to Be My Lover

Yesterday they found my lover
My lover with the golden hair
When they told me he was dead
How I sighed and hanged my head
Outliving your lover's
A burden to bear

An hour ago they found my lover
My lover with the fiery hair
Though the news was no surprise
How the tears poured out my eyes
To show 'em a lover
With someone who cared

What's to uncover
In the language of a lover
Alone in the night

What went unstated
Got a little complicated
Between bark and bite
To Hell if I'm right

And now I heard they found my lover
My lover with the raven hair
I was told he'd heard it said
What became of Gold and Red
So I smothered my lover
And now we're square

So if you want to be my lover
And feel my fingers through your hair
I can hold you through the nights
In this cell of bars and stripes
Just know, as my lover
You'd better beware
