One of Us Cannot Be Wrong (Live at the Isle of Wight)

I lit a thin green candle to make you jealous of me

But the room just filled up with mosquitoes

They heard that my body was free

Then I took the dust from a long and a sleepless night

And I, I put it in your little shoe

And then I confess that I tortured the dress

That you wore for the world to look through

I showed my heart to the doctor, he said I'd just have to quit

Then he wrote himself a prescription

Your name was mentioned in it

Then he locked himself into a library shelf

Oh, with the all of the details of our, our shabby honeymoon

And I hear from his nurse, yeah, that he's gotten much worse

And his, his practice has fallen to ruin

And I heard of the saint who had loved you

Yeah, I studied all night in his school

He taught that the duty of lovers is to tarnish the, the Golden Rule

And just when I was sure that his teachings were pure

He went and drowned himself in the pool

His body is gone, yeah, but back here on the lawn

His spirit continues to drool

An Eskimo showed me that movie he'd recently taken of you

Why, the poor man could hardly stop shivering

His lips, his fingers were blue

I suppose he froze when the wind tore off your clothes

And I, I guess he just never got warm

But you're standin' there so nice in your blizzard of ice

Oh, please let me come into the storm

I suppose that he froze when the wind tore off your clothes

And I, I guess he just never got warm

But you stand there so nice in your blizzard of ice

Oh, please let me come into, come into the storm
