Day after day had passed |
|
Shadows cast |
|
Of long forgotten things |
|
That I had failed to do |
|
Passing through |
|
Nameless places |
|
Then I heard you speak |
|
I held my breath and turned |
|
Saw you, and heard you say to me |
|
"Have you a cigarette?" |
|
So we met, and love was something real and not a word |
|
And there were times she took my breath away |
|
She gave me thoughts to think and words to say |
|
We were so happy then |
|
Life began |
|
When all at once |
|
Her eyes grew cold |
|
She spoke to me |
|
Laughed at me |
|
Telling me |
|
That I was just a joke |
|
She doesn't want me now |
|
Tells me how |
|
All she ever wanted was to see me cry |
|
And now I'm all alone, I know she's satisfied |
|
Now when she leaves she'll take my life away |
|
And so the curtain falls and ends the play |
|
She'll take my life away |
|
She'll take my life away |
