|
There was that girl |
|
I used to know |
|
She'd tease me about my name |
|
Fan the embers long enough |
|
I sometimes catch her flame |
|
The soothing voice of distance tells me "That was just a fling" |
|
Other music fills my ears |
|
But I still hear her sing : |
|
She sings : |
|
Paddy Joe, say |
|
Paddy Joe |
|
Don't you remember me ? |
|
How long ago one gorgeous night |
|
We let the stars go |
|
Paddy Joe, say |
|
Paddy Joe |
|
Don't you remember me ? |
|
How long ago one gorgeous night |
|
We let the stars go free |
|
There was a boy |
|
I used to be |
|
I guess that he was cold |
|
If she came to buy him now |
|
How cheaply he'd be sold |
|
But the light is gone and it is dark |
|
What used to be the sky |
|
Is suddenly embarrassing |
|
To the naked eye |
|
You see : |
|
Paddy Joe, see |
|
Paddy Joe |
|
Can't face this memory |
|
How long ago one gorgeous night |
|
We let the stars go |
|
Paddy Joe, see |
|
Paddy Joe |
|
Can't face this memory |
|
How long ago one gorgeous night |
|
We let the stars go |
|
Long ago one gorgeous night |
|
We let the stars go |
|
Long ago one stupid night |
|
We let the stars go free |
|
We let the stars go free |
|
We let the stars go free |
|
We let the stars go free |
|
We let the stars go free |
