Sun shines through my window in the afternoon
Sparrows on the railings in the month of June
Summer nights which start from skies at rainbow's end
Dusty morns with tiresome yawns
Cascades of blue and green
And oh my love you're in between the earth and sky
Cascades of blue and green

Sparrows on the railings in the month of June
Summer nights which start from skies at rainbow's end
Dusty morns with tiresome yawns
Cascades of blue and green
And oh my love you're in between the earth and sky
Cascades of blue and green
And oh my love you're in between the earth and sky

What is wrong with me?" She said, "Girl, it happens all the time "And you are Half A Man, Half A Man Look, you're walking and you're talking Like a fag." Half A Man, I am Half A Man Holy Jesus, what a drag
