indWell my newfound friend gave my heart a mend I sang her songs of my wayward ways
When day turned to night in the crystal moonlight I confirmed her unwavering gaze
As the days unravelled I stayed in the gravel and Susan kept her eye on me
With my eye on her i felt my heart all astir with the joy of camaraderie
Black-eyed Susan by the roadside blooming all yellow like sunshine
Red like wine flower like you in a desert this cruel my my you're a rare rare find
