My heart is higher than a hawk,
My love is deeper than a well
Im thinking in a little while
My love and I’ll be doing very well.
An owl is giving me the eye,
The wind is blowing me a kiss
I wouldn’t be at all surprised,
If i were only dreaming all of this.
And when i strut about like a sonny-jim
Dressed in yella and red
Folks will shout, «take a look at him, he’s fixed in the head»
I said that i would never fall
I laughed at others when they fell
And here im falling,
Higher than a hawk
And deeper than a well.
And when we’re all rigged out like a birthday cake
Eyes will pop everywhere
Folks will shout «dont you think they make, a wonderful pair?»
I said that i would never fall
But if you promise not to tell
My long for you,
Is higher than a hawk
And deeper than a well.
