The Green Pajamas

Sweet Sixteen

Look outside, the summer's gone
It's almost Halloween
But I don't want to go my Molly
From this insanity
Days are dark the leaves are falling
The birds are flying south
But I'll hold on to this spinning room
And kiss your smoky mouth

Sweet sixteen I'm going down
All the way for you

Dance across the wooden floor
And promise me you'll stay
I'll trust love and the stars above
And through my life away
All my dreams and wishes Molly
Are lying in the sand
I need to hold but one possession
In my shaking hands

Sweet sixteen I'm going down
All the way for you

And you can play the piano to the sea
And spend the winters here with me
And you can play the piano to the sea

I feel your perfection
Down in the middle of me
No one caught in the glory of God
Has felt such ecstasy
Oh my God, I love you Molly
No one could understand
I kneel down to your perfect body
I am at your command

Sweet sixteen I'm going down
All the way for you
