Long-Haired Lover Lyrics

You were my long haired lover

When I met you in the summer

I was looking for a way to ease my mind

And I thought that you looked fun

Standing in the sun

You filled my days with golden smoke and apple wine

And I knew I didn't want to fall right into you

I told myself I'd walk along the edge

But I said long haired lover can I stay

Just can't keep myself away from your sweet song

Long haired lover

Don't pull me under

I'll hold my heart and keep it safe don't do me wrong

Hey hey

And as the days got colder

My heart grew ten years older

I got tired of hiding all myself away

And then the ground shifted below us

Life began to show us maybe

We could bring each other brighter days

And as you let me see the darker sides of you

The brighter side came clearly into view

So I said long haired lover won't you stay

I've been pushing you away for far too long

Long haired lover

Help me discover

Maybe we could build a love that's just as strong

Hey babe

Oh but honesty

Didn't come easily

And honestly

I just got scared

Because probably

It was clear to me

There were certain things

We couldn't share

So I say long haired lover you can't stay

Go and find a brighter day where you belong

Oh long haired lover

Hope I discover

Who

Who you become
