Oh, Jonquil the lovely
I’d trade my soul to be your ugly husband
I mean it, they can’t stop this with a scandal in the papers
I’d burn them, I’d process my emotional wreckage
finally, It’s tacky - I’d make my life your birthday party, Jon
Oh Jonquil, I miss you
Come home, and I swear I’ll never leave you
I’m sorry, things had got so Goddamn tricky
And lately I wonder where you’ve been and who you’ve bothered
Since then it’s different -I’ve come to terms that I’m your misfit
Now
Oh Jonquil, it’s over
You decided on a four-leaf clover
And it’s been five years now
If I knew what to say, I’d never know how
with that stuff, I regret I got so out of touch
And absence is pretty
Please life don’t go oh-so-dizzy now
