Mission Of Burma - What We Really Were

Текст песни

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
between clean whole sheets, but when I was with you we slept wrapped up,
it seems years and years ago that people saw the sun, we would sleep on
beaches...>
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
