Daphne And Apollo Lyrics by Nerina Pallot
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
Venus loved Dapne and so did Apollo
So why can't I make myself like a tree?
Why must I burn daily and nightly
When nobody's running - well not after me.
Must I wait, must I pray.
For something good to come my way?

Oh Daphne was stupid! Oh, how could she do it?
How could she turn a prince from her door?
'Cause if you came calling, boy i'd let you in
But you don't come calling, not anymore.
So I wait, and I grow old
When i'm dead, then you'll know.
Do you know?
You know.
Venus loved Dapne and so did Apollo   So why can't I make myself like a tree?   Why must I burn daily and nightly   When nobody's running - well not after me.   Must I wait, must I pray.   For something good to come my way?      Oh Daphne was stupid! Oh, how could she do it?   How could she turn a prince from her door?   'Cause if you came calling, boy i'd let you in   But you don't come calling, not anymore.   So I wait, and I grow old   When i'm dead, then you'll know.   Do you know?   You know.
