Lilac Breeze

by Elliott Smith

lilac blowing through the warm summer air
Hey I know your perfume, the smell of your hair
The sun is setting and the crows all cry
Electrical storm forming in the sky
Got a hurt inside that I just gotta heal
All I can do is feel, feel, feel
The day is dying and the night is born
Baby don't leave me so alone
A hungry dog howls through the trees
It echoes long on the lilac breeze
The blackbird sings a song so sad
Girl I want it bad
Girl I want it bad
Birds do it, bees do it, I wanna do it
The only thing you need to do is get down to it
Please hear my plea, know it comes from the heart
Baby you and me got something to start
A hungry dog howls through the trees
It echoes long on the lilac breeze
The blackbird sings a song so sad
Girl I want it bad
Girl I want it bad
Why won't you hear me
I'm a desperate man
Darling don't fear me
Just say we can
Lilac blowing in the warm summer breeze
Floating so soft with the cries and the trees
Sun is setting and the day is dead
How can I get it through your pretty little head
A hungry dog howls through the trees
It echoes long on the lilac breeze
The blackbird sings a song so sad
Girl I want it bad
Girl I want it bad
Girl I want it bad
A hungry dog howls through the trees
It echoes long on the lilac breeze
The blackbird sings a song so sad
Girl I want it bad
Girl I want it bad
Girl I want it bad
