The Last Song

Рабочий текст The Last Song с альбома Mystery Walk.

SHE (1):
The joint was empty
My glass was half-full
And by the window I sat alone.

I felt neglected
I felt so harmful
Could he be trusted? I didn’t know.

HE (2):
There were no stars in the heaven
The wind blew salty and bitter
The night was crooked and bruised

I set my foot in the tavern
So unprepared to meet her
She looked betrayed and confused

CHORUS
SHE:
He only sees what he wants to see
He only hears what he wants to hear
He only feels what he wants to feel
He only fears what he wants to fear

HE (3):
Her face was pale as a lily
Black hair blue eyes marble shoulders
And I asked her for a dance

She said “Oh no don’t be silly”
But I insisted I told her
“Ain’t this a sudden romance?”

SAX SOLO (they dance)!

SHE (4):
A skillful dancer
He led me firmly
Like wax I melted in his strong hands

A flight of fancy
I liked it only
Something was not right about this dance

HE (5):
She was in need of protection,
Of care, devotion and flowers
I had to give it a try.

And so to show my affection
I said I’m not like the others
I’ll stay by you till I die.

BRIDGE
HE:
I’m but a man
A simple man
I can’t express how madly in love with you I am.

BRIDGE
SHE:
You’ll never see
The filth in me
You’ll never be prepared ready for pain and misery

CHORUS
SHE:
He only sees what he wants to see
He only hears what he wants to hear
He only feels what he wants to feel
He only fears what he wants to fear

HE (6):
We’d be so happy together
No other thought could be sweeter
The moon was starting to rise

My place was cozy as ever
I mixed her a margarita
She said, “And now, close your eyes”.

SHE (7):
He was so perfect
So full of glamour,
That I decided I’ve had enough.

I put my purse down
Took out the hammer
I kissed him softly and did my stuff.

CHORUS
TOGETHER:
He only sees what he wants to see
He only hears what he wants to hear
He only feels what he wants to feel
He only fears what he wants to fear
