[Intro]
[Verse]
She wore the wooden weeds of work
Tended the naughty neon lights
She bore the face of care and kirk
The stony stairs her only flights
[Chorus]
Building superintendent cries
For want of love with weary eyes
[Chorus]
Building superintendent cries
For want of love with weary eyes
[Verse]
He saw her seldom week to week
But felt the eyes their mournful might
Was it a yearning they wouldst speak
Sorrowful sign to share the night?
[Chorus]
Building superintendent cries
For want of love with weary eyes
[Chorus]
Building superintendent cries
For want of love with weary eyes
[Break]
[Verse]
O power of persuasion caught
In b***d too red for its arrest
O flower of imagine sought
For slip of strangeness another breast
[Chorus]
Building superintendent cries
For want of love with weary eyes
[Chorus]
Building superintendent cries
For want of love with weary eyes
[Break]
[Verse]
She wore the wooden weeds of work
Tended the naughty neon lights
She bore the face of care and kirk
The stony stairs her only flights
[Chorus]
Building superintendent cries
For want of love with weary eyes
[Chorus]
Building superintendent cries
For want of love with weary eyes
[Verse]
He saw her seldom week to week
But felt the eyes their mournful might
Was it a yearning they wouldst speak
Sorrowful sign to share the night?
[Chorus]
Building superintendent cries
For want of love with weary eyes
[Chorus]
Building superintendent cries
For want of love with weary eyes
[Break]
[Verse]
O power of persuasion caught
In b***d too red for its arrest
O flower of imagine sought
For slip of strangeness another breast
[Chorus]
Building superintendent cries
For want of love with weary eyes
[Chorus]
Building superintendent cries
For want of love with weary eyes
[Outro]
