Lyrics & Translation

[English]
Saturday comes slow.
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Is there nothing there?
In the limestone caves.
In the southwest land.
What sounds in the kingdom?
Beneath us on the sand.
Saturday comes slow.
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Lost in the magic
From the last time.
This town turning in
My arrows to desire.
Saturday comes slow.
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Is there nothing there?
There was nothing much to listen to except the wind. I would listen to the wind.
