I found out about her
Her name´s Mississippi Isabel
She grows wild strawberries
She´s made of ivoire and pearl.

To look at the universe
She´d abandoned the world
I´d go with her back to the darkness
Abandon my life for this girl

I rode around on my bicycle
All the way in the rain
She kissed me once I took her out for lunch
And she never kissed me again
(x2)

Her beauty knows no tick of time
She´s the song of the nightingale
The torture and the remedy, the tragedy
In the passionate tale

And I begged for forgiveness for the way that I am
And I hope she doesn´t blame men for the inelegance of men

I rode around on my bicycle
All the way in the rain
She kissed me once I took her out for lunch
And she never kissed me again
(x6)
