There he stands on the farm With his eyes on a windmill And his head goes round and round Like the hours of the night will Yellow roses maybe all he will bring you But no night bird will sing the songs he'll sing you So when he wants you you have to stay You have to hold him it's the only way It's the only way And who knows where he hides Only somewhere inside him It's the only place he's found Where no fences surround him You might find him in the darkness kneeling He's found no reason for this love he's feeling So when he wants you now and again Don't let the time slip past you all in vain All in vain There he goes along the wall Catch him now before he falls While he tries to break the chains That bind what's gone to what remains Yellow roses may be all he will bring you But no night bird will sing the songs he'll sing you So when he wants you you have to stay You have to hold him it's the only way It's the only way
