Long-Haired Lover

You were my long haired lover When I met you in the summer I was looking for a way to ease my mind And I thought that you looked fun Standing in the sun You filled my days with golden smoke and apple wine And I knew I didn't want to fall right into you I told myself I'd walk along the edge But I said long haired lover can I stay Just can't keep myself away from your sweet song Long haired lover Don't pull me under I'll hold my heart and keep it safe don't do me wrong Hey hey And as the days got colder My heart grew ten years older I got tired of hiding all myself away And then the ground shifted below us Life began to show us maybe We could bring each other brighter days And as you let me see the darker sides of you The brighter side came clearly into view So I said long haired lover won't you stay I've been pushing you away for far too long Long haired lover Help me discover Maybe we could build a love that's just as strong Hey babe Oh but honesty Didn't come easily And honestly I just got scared Because probably It was clear to me There were certain things We couldn't share So I say long haired lover you can't stay Go and find a brighter day where you belong Oh long haired lover Hope I discover Who Who you become
