Love Is Teasin' (with Marianne Faithfull)

I wish, I wish, I wish in vain
 I wish I were a maid again
 But a maid again I can never be
 Until apples grow on an ivy tree
 For love it is pleasin' and love is teasin'
 And love is a treasure when first it's new
 But as love grows older, then love grows colder
 And it fades away like the morning dew
 There is a little house into town
 And there my love, he sits him down
 He takes a strange girl on his knee
 And he tells her things that he wants to be
 For love and water make younger older
 And love and whiskey make her old and grey
 And what cannot be cured, love, must be endured, love
 And now I am bound for America
 La la la la la la...
 La la la la la la...
 As life grows older sure love grows older
 And it fades away like the morning dew
