She dances in and out our lives
She skirts the shadows of the room
She’s like the sunset she’ll never stay the night
She’ll leave you howlin’ at the moon

I knew her once and once was time enough
To see that I can’t hold the stars
Then why love Lulu I’d be smart to give her up
But try to tell that to my heart

She comes from every place there is
She’s had a thousand different names
She’ll say she’s sorry and soothe it with a kiss
She’ll bust you open just the same

I knew her once and once was time enough
For learnin’ I can’t hold the stars
Then why love Lulu I’d be smart to give her up
But try to tell that to my heart

She comes to visit now and then
She brings the daisies what they need
She blacks the sky out then lights it up again
She did the same to me
