Lentil Famine - Memoirs of John Hume Lyrics

It's not right and I guess it's out of line
And I don't really know what I mean
But when I ask you all the time
If you'd like to be my wife (in my mind)
I guess it's pretty kink

And I'm so kind - I'd like to make you mine
(This I swear by my conscious clean)
But if it's me who you deny
With your smirk so smug and wry
Then my heart'll sunder in the sea

Oh, I'll be so free!
Like a frigate bird at play
I'll dance all day amongst
The sunlight and the waves
But I could never free myself
From love's sweet embrace
In it's solemn cage
I shall remain

Summertime brings lots of little rhymes
(And most come in my sleep)
But one that I devised
(That I hope you'll really like)
Is one I wrote for who but ma cherie?

Ma cherie!
It's so beautiful at night
The stars are pricking at a lonely patch of sky-y
My heart is pricking at a lonely thought of you-and I
My cherie!
On a starry night
