That token drag on your cigarette, | |
that well-known face in the fire, | |
it could be someone you can't forget, | |
someone you've learnt to admire. | |
And it's strange how the feeling goes; | |
all change – down the river Ophelia goes. | |
You're treading water, the price is steep, | |
you say you'll cope with it all; | |
you've made some promises you can't keep, | |
you throw yourself against the wall, | |
you throw yourself against the wall. | |
You throw yourself against the wall. | |
And it's strange how the feeling goes; | |
all change – down the river Ophelia goes. | |
You heard a noise in the firegrate, | |
you look to see who goes there – | |
it's just the stranger, he's come too late | |
and even he's unprepared | |
to find the cupboard so bare. | |
It's so strange when the feeling goes; | |
all change – down the river Ophelia goes. | |
It's so strange when the feeling goes; | |
all change – down the river Ophelia goes. | |
It's so strange – down the river... |
That token drag on your cigarette, | |
that wellknown face in the fire, | |
it could be someone you can' t forget, | |
someone you' ve learnt to admire. | |
And it' s strange how the feeling goes | |
all change down the river Ophelia goes. | |
You' re treading water, the price is steep, | |
you say you' ll cope with it all | |
you' ve made some promises you can' t keep, | |
you throw yourself against the wall, | |
you throw yourself against the wall. | |
You throw yourself against the wall. | |
And it' s strange how the feeling goes | |
all change down the river Ophelia goes. | |
You heard a noise in the firegrate, | |
you look to see who goes there | |
it' s just the stranger, he' s come too late | |
and even he' s unprepared | |
to find the cupboard so bare. | |
It' s so strange when the feeling goes | |
all change down the river Ophelia goes. | |
It' s so strange when the feeling goes | |
all change down the river Ophelia goes. | |
It' s so strange down the river... |
