Long-Haired Lover

You were my long haired lover
When I met you in the summer
I was looking for a way to ease my mind
And I thought that you looked fun
Standing in the sun
You filled my days with golden smoke and apple wine

And I knew I didn't want to fall right into you
I told myself I'd walk along the edge

But I said long haired lover can I stay
Just can't keep myself away from your sweet song
Long haired lover
Don't pull me under
I'll hold my heart and keep it safe don't do me wrong
Hey hey

And as the days got colder
My heart grew ten years older
I got tired of hiding all myself away
And then the ground shifted below us
Life began to show us maybe
We could bring each other brighter days

And as you let me see the darker sides of you
The brighter side came clearly into view

So I said long haired lover won't you stay
I've been pushing you away for far too long
Long haired lover
Help me discover
Maybe we could build a love that's just as strong
Hey babe

Oh but honesty
Didn't come easily
And honestly
I just got scared
Because probably
It was clear to me
There were certain things
We couldn't share

So I say long haired lover you can't stay
Go and find a brighter day where you belong
Oh long haired lover
Hope I discover
Who
Who you become
