Say, my love I came to you with best intention
you lay down and give to me just what I'm seeking
say, love, you drive me to distraction

Oh, Helena, do you believe that we might last a thousand years
or more if not for this our flesh and blood?
it ties you and me right up, tie me down, oh well

Celebrate we will 'cause life is short but sweet for certain
hey, we climb on two by two to be sure these days continue
things we cannot change
change
all I want to change is

Hey, Helena, you came to me like wine comes to this mouth
grown tired of water all the time
you quench my heart and, oh, you quench my mind and say

Celebrate we will 'cause life is short but sweet for certain
hey, we climb on two by two to be sure these days continue
things we can--I [?] celebrate (celebrate we will)
oh, you and me (climb on two by two)
climb on two by two to be sure these days continue
things we cannot change
change
change

Oh, Helena, I came to you with best intention
you lay down and give to me just what I'm seeking
say, love, watch me celebrate, yeah

Oh, celebrate we will 'cause life is short but sweet for certain
hey, we climb on two by two to be sure these days continue
things we can--[??]
(celebrate we will) oh
(climb on two by two) oh yeah
(climb on two by two be sure these days continue)
things we cannot change

[?] they are falling when we go
over, I took it all, I'll take it out
for me now [?] feeling [?]
I would know, I'm feeling strong
oh, love for them is here

lonely, I fall lonely, I fall lonely, I follow you
only I go this way, climb on two by two to be sure that these days continue
