lyrics

I was combing up King, saw you ambling there
All in amber and gold and the jet black strings
A combination of things so incredibly rare
With your handful of rings and your feminine stare

And your sandyblonde hair, parted two-tone waves
Should be framin that smile, a pure debutante air
But all I get is a glare, under sandyblonde hair

I was braidin’ up Queen, suckin sunrise air
Can’t imagine a day without seein you there
What’s it say about spring, I guess Shane said it best
Now it’s on my chest like a vest I wear

But your sandyblonde hair has got me wondering aloud
What if summer don’t die, an eternal July
Keeps boiling bright when you’re walkin at night

I was beatin a path thru the city block square
I was dodging the baskers and the buskers and that unforgiving sun-up glare
A combination of things I just couldn’t deem fair
Cuz I been a good soul and now I’m covered in woe

But your sandyblonde hair brought me outta that fog
Saw you amblin there, all cursed for the wear
If you’re stricken I’ll share
With your sandyblonde hair, parted two-tone waves
Framin that frown that makes the devil lay down
But the devil don't dare pull on your sandyblonde hair
