About

In this humorous story of voyeurism, the narrator tells of his unhealthy obsession with a woman named Lily. As the song progresses, it becomes clear that this is not your typical love song. He watches her window through his vantage point, perched on a tree.

Lily, my one and only

'Cause as they're draggin' me away
I swear I saw her raise her hand and wave
Goodbye
