See my love was asleep on the floor
In a pose that's familiar
*See, my son, we'll just send you to war
*If the battle don't kill you
But I've a change in mind
*She's calling all the time
That I don't want to live in your side
Though the rose is vermillion
And I'd find it so hard to survive
Without when within you
My sweet Lavinia
My sweet Lavinia
All the years buried under the floors
And the wounds in the parlour
Would have come up to greet us before
If it weren't for my heart because
*I've her name in mind
And it's calling all the time
For my sweet lavinia
My sweet Lavinia
My sweet Lavinia
My sweet Lavinia
In a pose that's familiar
*See, my son, we'll just send you to war
*If the battle don't kill you
But I've a change in mind
*She's calling all the time
That I don't want to live in your side
Though the rose is vermillion
And I'd find it so hard to survive
Without when within you
My sweet Lavinia
My sweet Lavinia
All the years buried under the floors
And the wounds in the parlour
Would have come up to greet us before
If it weren't for my heart because
*I've her name in mind
And it's calling all the time
For my sweet lavinia
My sweet Lavinia
My sweet Lavinia
My sweet Lavinia
