Lyrics Robyn Hitchcock

Robyn Hitchcock

If You Were A Priest

If you were a priest

I would wait at least

Up unto confession time

And crawl into your box

Breathing like a fox

Hunting for obsession time and

I've thrown a lot of time away

To be with you

So please don't look away your eyes

If you were a nun

I would surely run

Way down to the hospital

And cover all your charts

With decorated hearts

A palpitating ritual and

I've spent a lot of time on this

To be like you

So please don't look away your eyes

If you were a ghost

I would treasure most

Time I never spent with you

And wander through your head

The words I never said

'Til I knew what I meant to you and

I've spent a lot of time on this

To be with you

So please don't look away your eyes

So please don't look away your eyes (Away your eyes)
