You don’t want much
Just everything
That’s not enough
Gold leaf on the ceiling
I might have some sugar
So you can taste so sweet
I could be your father
If you’ll be mine to keep
I’ll lock you in a cage
Save you for me alone
You can do whatever you want
Just be there when I get home
I can hear you crying
In the dead of the night
I’ll release you back to darkness
To the heat of summer light
You might not want to leave
Hang on to the bars
The door is always open
You can see the stars
Life spent in devotion
I know that you’ve been true
I’ll second that emotion
I’m watching over you
