Love - Robyn Hitchcock

The sun is shining on the ground

I see that nothing makes a sound

I move invisible as air

And choose the time to disappear

Ah, ah, ah — I’m in love with you

The spirit started long ago

They’ve found somewhere they couldn’t go

They spend their time just looking out

For those who never share a doubt

Ah, ah, ah, ah — they’re in love with you

The seagull on the seeping sand

Can die but never understand

The oil that festers on our shore

Will cast a stain for evermore

Ah, ah, ah, ah — who’s in love with that?

The gnomes are moving through the night

They sing and fiddle with delight

And we eat Weetabix and sing

About the joys that love can bring

Ah, ah, ah, ah — if they ever come

The sun is shining very hard

It melts both margarine and lard

But me I only dream of you

I hope that you are dreaming too

Ah, ah, ah, ah — I’m in love with you
