Hyacinth

by Tim Finn
(Big Canoe, 1986)

What are you thinking of
What are you thinking of
My lovely blue

What are you dreaming of
What are you dreaming of
My ever true

Let me cast my stupid sails
And sail away away with you
Let me sail away with you

Please let me be a hero
I can play that role for you

CHORUS
You are the difference and the heat
The journey south where our skins will meet
In my huge lands you are the hyacinth

You are the strangest scented place
You are in the insect's wild wind race
In my huge lands you are the hyacinth

What are you thinking of
What are you thinking of
My castle queen
What are you dreaming of
What are you dreaming of
My evergreen

Let me fight my stupid battles
And prove myself to you
Let me prove myself to you
'Cause all I really want right now
Is to know that you love me too

CHORUS

Ocean eyes in the highest blaze
You are the hyacinth

Please let me be a hero I can play that role for you

CHORUS
