She said her name was Century |
|
She'd last a hundred years |
|
I said I wouldn't keep that long |
|
And on her face were tears |
|
I put my fingers to her face |
|
She pointed to a mosque |
|
She said I come from over there |
|
But over here I'm lost |
|
She said her name was Century |
|
I offered her my hand |
|
She said I'm trying to give them up |
|
I hope you understand |
|
I shook my head and the sawdust fell |
|
Across the bathroom floor |
|
And in that tiny glimpse of hell |
|
I knew what love was for |
|
She said her name was Century |
|
And then she disappeared |
|
I think I know which way she went |
|
I felt so bad I cared |
|
She said her name was Century |
|
Someday I'll make her mine |
|
But if you want to know the score |
|
Just read between the lines |
