AIs it too near when they're nice?
DIs that why there's sand in Ayour eyes?E  
DYou should look up cauAse they're nothing at alEl
DBlow me a kiss Aand I'll tryE  
DWade through the mud and Areturn wearing EwhiteD  
DHanging like clothAes on a lineE  
DAnd I'll wait for you Ato spend all your Etime
DWaiting like grapAes on a vineE

When the differeAnce isn't black and DwhiteE  
Will the setAtled always have to Dfly for a hEome
