- Off the top of my head...
-
- And yes I believe in what we had...
- But words got in the way
- And only yesterday
- As I was leaving
- Lord knows I've heard a million conversations
- Going where they've been before..
- See the way that careful lingers
- Undecided by the door.
- * And all I know for sure
- All I know for real
- Is knowing doesn't mean so much
- When placed against the feeling
- The heat inside
- When bodies meet
- When fingers touch.
- All of my words are secondhand
- And useless in the face of this.
- Rationale and rhyme and reason
- Pale beside a single kiss.
- And I've heard so many things
- I fail to understand at all.
- I'd settle anytime for unknown footsteps in the hall outside.
- Repeat *
- Because the world is cruel
- And promises are broken.
- Don't try to tell me anything
- Don't try to tell me
- You'll be true to me
- You know the real truth is never spoken.
- I know the world is cold
- But if you hold on tight to what you find
- You might not mind too much
- Though even this must pass away,
- And memories may last for years
- But names are just as souvenirs...
- Some kind of angel let me look into your eyes...
- Don't give my why's and wherefore's..
- Reason for surprise.
- I don't care for words that don't belong.
- And I don't care what you're called.
- Tell me later if at all.
- I can wait a long, long time
- Before I hear another love song.
- Oh dear I think you're beautiful
- My door is open wide.
- Some kind of angel come inside.
- Come here I think you're beautiful
- I think you're beautiful, beatiful.
- Some kind of angel come inside.
- Come here I think you're beautiful..
- I think you're beautiful.
- Some kind of angel come inside.
- Repeat last 3 verses twice to fade with "stranger" instead of "angel"
-
- Correct me if I'm wrong. Not sure about when it's "come here" or
- "oh dear". I just guessed.
