Lyrics

[Intro] Are you my lady, are you? My lady, are you? Are you my lady, are you? My lady, are you? Are you my lady, are you? [Verse 1] If I don't make it back from the city Then it is only because I am drawn away For you see, evidently, there's a dark storm coming And the chain on my swing is squeaking like a mouse [Chorus] So are you my lady, are you? My lady, are you? Are you my lady, are you? My lady, are you? (The rain, the rain, the rain is falling down, the cars remain) [Refrain] You're tall just like a giraffe You have to climb to find its head But if there's a glitch You're an ostrich You've got your head in the sand [Verse 2] In a submersible I can hardly breathe As it takes me inside, so the light sings Answer me truthfully Do the clouds kiss you? With meringue-coloured hair I know they cannot [Chorus] So, are you my lady, are you? My lady, are you? (The rain is falling down, the cars remain) My lady, are you? (The rain is falling down, the cars remain) (I could not be seen with you) [Bridge] Santa Ana winds bring seasickness (Oh, there you are) Zookeeper hear me out (Oh, there you are) How dare you go? Cold in the rain (Oh, there you are) [Refrain] Tall just like a giraffe You have to climb to find its head But if there's a glitch You're an ostrich You've got your head in the sand [Chorus] Are you my lady, are you? My lady, are you? Are you? My lady, are you? My lady, are you? (The rain is falling down, the cars remain) My lady, are you? My lady, are you? (The rain is falling down, the cars remain) (I could not be seen with you) My lady, are you? My lady, are you? (The rain is falling down, the cars remain) (I could not be seen with you) My lady, are you? My lady, are you? (Working half the time and looking fine, in cars re-made) My lady, are you? My lady, are you? (Working half the time and looking fine, in cars re-made) (I could not be seen with you) My lady, are you? My lady, are you? (Working half the time and looking fine, in cars re-made) (I could not be seen with you) My lady, are you? My lady, are you? (Working half the time and looking fine, in cars re-made) (I could not be seen with you) My lady, are you? My lady, are you? (Working half the time and looking fine, in cars re-made) (I could not be seen with you)
