Madonna of the Wasps - Robyn Hitchcock, The Egyptians

Is this love?

Is this love?

Is this, is this, is this love?

Lost Madonna of the wasps

I wonder where we crossed

I wonder why she lost me

Lost Madonna of the wasps

She’s dying in the frost

I wonder what she cost me

Is this love?

Lost Madonna of the swans

She waves a magic wand

And then she settles on me

Wise Madonna of the flies

I look into her eyes

And then she recognizes me

Is this love?

Is this love?

Lost Madonna of the wasps

I wonder where we crossed

I wonder why she lost me

Lost Madonna of the wasps

She’s lying in the frost

I wonder what she cost me

Is this love?

Is this love?

Is this love?
