Sweet sweet love and affection
Aiming for my protection
Sweet sweet hail and devotion
Pointed by my emotion
I called you by your name
I called you by your name

Like a baby crying for the milk of its mother
Like a junkman scratching on a vial for ether
I’m hearing Mary’s voices in the middle of the night
She said ‘Come home soon, darling’
‘You just hold tight’
Lazy ocean hugs the shore
Caterpillar eats the rose
No exception to this law
Circle drawing to a close

Sweet sweet love and affection
Aiming for my protection
Sweet sweet hail and devotion
Pointed by my emotion
I called you by your name
I called you by your name

I called you by your name
I called you by your name
