Lilies Of The Valley Lyrics - David Byrne

Momma she had complications 

There's nothing very strange about that 

Nuns said "We can't kill that baby 

We'll have to let your mother die" 

We are all just lilies of the valley 

We neither reap nor sow 

We need to get our hands a little dirty 

To make our gardens grow, hey hey 

Way too many people on this island 

Getting way too crowded on this boat 

Need someone to bail some water 

If we're gonna keep this thing afloat

I like a little sugar in my coffee 

I don't mean Sweet 'n' Low 

You don't know what you want until you find it 

I believe you'll tell me so 

I need a little water in my garden 

I need a little sunlight on my head 

I need someone to cover me with kisses 

When I'm all alone and scared 

We are all just lilies of the valley 

We neither reap nor sow 

We need to get our hands a little dirty 

To make our gardens grow

I - like to cover me with kisses 

To make my garden grow
