Spin and Turn

I loved you when you left

and when you left again

it’s when you love me baby

I just can’t be your man.

Winter’s come and gone

and my coat’s hung up to dry

deep inside my house where

I never heard you cry.

There’s a heart inside my closet

I take it out sometimes

I’ll take it for a walk

And we’ll make a few bad rhymes

spin and turn

jubilee

spin and turn

jubilee.

Jesus love the sinners

but Lord I need a friend

won’t you run right back, babe

like a paperback end.

There’s a possum in the meadow

where my bluebird once did weep

Now I’m calling to you darling

like a wolf calls his sheep.

I’ll lay with you again

wondering if I’d lied

that possum in the meadow

you know that he smiled

saying

spin and turn

jubilee

spin ad turn

jubilee.

There’s flowers on the window

I picked cause you were sad

and there’s bruises on your face

cause you went and saw your dad.

There’s pansies in the garden

I water everyday

I guess they read your letter

now they’re wilting away.

Love is on my lips

and death is on my tongue

I wish I would have met you

when we were young

spin and turn

jubilee

spin and turn

jubilee.

I’ll kiss you on the cheek

and I’ll kiss you on the hand

but you don’t love me baby

you’re in love with another man.

He walks around like me

and he borrows my skin

you see him darling

but I’ve never met him.

He’ll walk with you outside

and say, “I love you”

but his heart’s in the closet

until he’s done with you

spin and turn

jubilee

spin and turn

jubilee.
