Surrey With the Fringe on Top
guitar chords lyrics
She walked into the shop
And the windows broke
The coffee crashing down
As this angel spoke
I might've survived if it weren't for her eyes
That were eating mine up
She wanted a job so I brought her the forms
With my eyes held shut
Was this love?
I wondered
'Cause I'd never been
So absolutely Jello'ed by a girl
Was this love?
What other reason could there be
When such a little thing
Was this love?
What other reason could there be
When such a little thing
Could break a world?
Was this love?
I knew that
If she didn't get this job
Then I would never know
Was this love?
So I told the boss that
I would train her thoroughly
From head to toe
On that day
In my heart
A castle rose
A mansion fell apart
Love with us was such a waking up
Warm and foggy as a coffee mug
A burning thing, full of steam
Learning us savoring
I walked into the shop
Expecting nothing but 'no's'
Rubbed my bleary eyes
Last night still on my clothes
Then I stopped in the door
'Cause I'd seen him before
My tongue suddenly thick
But I needed a job
So he brought me the forms
Like a conjuring trick
Was this love?
I couldn't understand
How he had jumped offstage and
Landed here instead
Was this love?
So I case the place for inspiration on the walls
And then my coffee cup
Was this love?
As I tried to think of clever things to say
To make him look back up
On that day in my head
Movies played of things he said
Constantly rewinding
Nothing there to remind me
That I don't believe in love
Love with us was such a waking up
Warm and foggy as a coffee mug
Strong at first, best served fresh
Beautiful at its worst, yeah
