Sylvia Said - John Cale

Wish I could sail in a big black boat

With a big white sail over me

And once in a while

I’d pull into port

Drink some wine with a girl

But Sylvia said

Come to bed

It’s so good to have you here

Some time ago

When time passed so slow

Too weak to know where to go

But now thinking back

On what strikes me the most

Is I’ve made up my mind long before

And Sylvia said

Come to bed

It’s so good to have you here

So I’ll cope with you

Don’t cope at all

So let’s leave it all to the chef

Please send my regrets

In case I forget

To PO Box Nobody Home

So Sylvia said

Come to bed

It’s so good to have you here
