What We Really Were

歌詞

It seems years and years ago that People saw the sun We would sleep on beaches ... Now must I go sleep alone Between clean whole sheets But when I was with you we slept wrapped up ... Of course you must know that it did all end How then to recall what we really were Of course you must know that it did all end Nothing that perfect or simple ever lasts For long That haunting song you sang about Picking roses and dropping them in the beloveds lap as she dreamed The translation clumsy Maybe it was that other song you sang about the beautiful dress that gets torn Of course you must know that it did all end How then to recall what we really were Of course you must know that it did all end Nothing that perfect or simple ever lasts For long
