Lyrics

[00:01.47] Sim Sala Bim
[00:08.98] He was so kind, such a gentleman tied to the oceanside
[00:16.91] Lighting a match on the suitcase's latch in the fading of night
[00:25.48] Ruffle the fur of the collie 'neath the table
[00:29.98] Ran out the door through the dark
[00:34.29] Carved out his initials in the bark
[00:46.53] Then the Earth shook, that was all that it took for the dream to break
[00:55.10] All the loose ends would surround me again in the shape of your face
[01:02.91] What makes me love you despite the reservations?
[01:07.35] What do I see in your eyes
[01:11.97] Besides my reflection hanging high?
[01:20.47] Are you off somewhere reciting incantations?
[01:24.53] Sim sala bim on your tongue
[01:28.66] Carving off the hair of someone's young
[01:41.60] Remember when you had me cut your hair?
[01:47.16] Call me Delilah then I wouldn't care
