Love it must be quite the strangest of currencies
I'll give you a quote for my time and my dignity
The cat got my tongue and the dog just pissed in my shoe
I'll love you in autumn amongst all these golden leaves,
Scatted my heart to the memory of such a dream
Show me a fixed place to stand and I'll turn the earth
I'll give you my heart dear but what will I get in return?
Such low rates of interest, it's barely worth saving,
I'll gamble it all with the fool and the knave then.
Who needs a heart? I'm sure I'll get by with a stone!
I'll love you in winter time under the covers
Of duvets and blankets and stripey pullovers
The ticks and the chime and nursery rhymes all agree
I'll give you my heart dear but what will I get in return?
Love it must be quite the strangest of currencies.
I've no idea how it will play out for you and me!
Deal me some cards, I think I feel lucky tonight.
I'll love you in springtime and all through the summer,
Till all of these seasons get lost in each other
I've cashed all my cheques let's hope that I spend my time right
I'll give you my heart dear but what will I get in return?
