The Triffids - Fairytale Love lyrics

In an earlier time, in a green land above By the mill and the willows we made fairytale love With the sky a warm blanket, and our backs to the rain We thought that our pleasure would always remain No blemish of lust, flesh unfreckled by sin A heart made like clockwork, white marble for skin Still waters green pastures, with one caress of your hand I swear even the wild dog lies down with the lamb We thought that our pleasure would always remain Soft fairytale kisses again and again The last moment we touched, by the river you shone The black swan spread its wings and hissed Lo! the night came on In an earlier time, in a green land above By the mill and the willows we made fairytale love With the sky a warm blanket, and our backs to the rain We thought that our pleasure would always remain
