Lyrics

are you a prophet are you a leaflet
can the small rain down can rain
there’s a hook in my eye a knife in my gullet
no more lonesome heartache

come over monday come over wednesday
leave me tuesday all alone
I got a lot of myself to love
while we’re on this lockdown

some lose their shit and some lend a shoulder
I’ll chop a foothold in the floor by and by
and dream of my darlin waist-deep in clover
pulling an oar to reach my side

are you a prophet are you a leaflet
can the small rain down can rain
there’s a hook in my eye a knife in my gullet
no more lonesome heartache

maybe I love you maybe I like you
wish I could come all over your mind
with those cornflower eyes you look like the type who
cupid’s sharpest dart would find

are you a prophet are you a leaflet
can the small rain down can rain
there’s a hook in my eye a knife in my gullet
no more lonesome heartache

are you a prophet are you a leaflet
can the small rain down can rain
there’s a hook in my eye a knife in my gullet
no more lonesome heartache
