White Lilies by Jakob Illeborg Lyrics
[Verse 1]
A boy, he loved a girl
And the girl she felt the same
They moved into a little house
In the town, by the fountain
He said: "My love for you is so
It will warm us when it's chilly
Each and every morning I will bring you fresh lilies"
[Verse 2]
As time went by, their love and happiness came and went
The young man travelled for a living
And was often away
She said: "I miss you when you're gone
But, don't feel safe when you are here
Your mind is straying, I can't stand those nights of booze and beer"
[Chorus]
Sometimes there's a coldness in the air
Yesterdays hope is tomorrow's despair
She wanted out, he wanted more
Each and every morning there are lilies by the door
White lilies by the door
[Verse 3]
Trouble took its toll and the old lovers split up
She said: "Although I love you so, this madness must stop"
He went around the world but he missed her more and more
And one late night he showed up and knocked on her door
[Verse 4]
She said: "Why do you come here when you know it's not okay?
There is an air of vagabond about you I can't take away"
She looked at him and said: "Be gone, now, you man of the moment
Even when I was with you, I was always alone"
[Chorus]
Sometimes there's a coldness in the air
Yesterdays hope is tomorrow's despair
She wanted out, he wanted more
Each and every morning there are lilies by the door
White lilies by the door
[Verse 5]
A boy loved a girl, and the girl she felt the same
But, love is never easy, happiness came and went
He travels throught the world, but sticks to the promise he swore
Each and every morning there are lilies by the door
White lilies by the door
White lilies by the door
White lilies by the door
