Lyrics

作词 : Merritt
Someone told me you’d be here
Whispering these familiar things
Talking to my little pet, smoking the same old cigarettes …
I would have laughed
I saw you last in summertime
You said you hated long goodby-y-yes
You said, “
There’s nothing to explain, in every life a little rain” …etcetera ~ chorus ~
And a long-forgotten fairytale is in your eyes again
And I’m caught inside a dream world where the colors are too intense …and nothing is making sense
There’s a floating town of eiderdown in a mist of mystery
There’s an old enchanted castle and the princess there is me …decked-out like a
Christmas tree ~ end chorus ~
I guess you’ve had your little joke
But I have lost my sense of hu-u-mor
My medication’s wearing off, for it’s just not strong enough …to cover this.
Then you kissed me like before
I found myself wanting more
And you tell that little lie that kept me hypnotized …another kiss ~ chorus ~
If somebody told me
I’d succumb
If someone said
I’d be so dumb
After all the sleepless nights, when
I turned on all the lights …
I would have hit them
But I have turned the other cheek
My voice trembles, my knees are weak
And you beat me once again
And I know what happens then …you raise the ante ~ chorus ~
