Strawberry Blonde

Eels

There she goes down in my head

Saying things she never said

E.e. cummings coming soon

But she'll be reading on the moon

And i don't know why she's gone

I'd welcome her in my arms

But she'll always be strawberry blonde

There she goes back in my heart

Pulling cobwebs in the dark

The five o'clock comes 'round the bend

And so she goes off with a friend

And i don't know why she's gone

I'd welcome her in my arms

But she'll always be strawberry blonde

She wrote a letter to her sister

She said this time it's the end

She never knew how much i missed her

Around the bend

There she goes down in my head

Leaving cobwebs on my bed

E.e. cummings coming soon

But she'll be laughing on the moon

And i don't know why she's gone

I'd welcome her in my arms

But she'll always be strawberry blonde
