Oh my babe, you put me in a shallow grave
In a sunflower garden on a sunny day
Oh my babe, you keep my head beneath the waves
At a quiet beach somewhere on a holiday
Oh my babe, you put me in an early grave
In the nightshade garden near the byway
Oh my babe, you caught me looking at your face
I’d convinced myself that I’d never love again
God save my beating heart
I wish I never crossed your path
God save my beating heart
Goddamn my beating heart
I thought I knew you from the start
Goddamn my beating heart
