Lyrics In The Yard - Del Water Gap

I met two girls in Boulder
We were standing in the cold
I said, "There's only room for one of you to live inside my home."
But this, this is not my home

The first one took my mind away, the second took my name,
Oh yeah, she writes me love letters every day but I need her all the same
I need her all the same

But you're my leech
I hope you never leave me
You could live inside my heart, killing people just to eat, you're mine
And if you ever grow old,
I will hold you in my hands and tell you just how beautiful you are

When all the old folks went to bed, the gardener was spent
And the children playing quietly, I lost my only friend
And you held my head

The wind it whipped the trees around, it was snowing in the yard
So you ripped a piece right off your shirt and tied it 'round my arm
And said, "I'll keep you warm."

Yeah you're my leech
I hope you never leave me
You could live inside my heart, killing people just to eat, you're mine
And if you ever grow old,
I will hold you in my hands and tell you just how beautiful you are

I hope you never leave me
You could live inside my heart, killing people just to eat, you're mine
And if you ever grow old,
I will hold you in these hands and tell you just how beautiful you are
