I walked the hill touched by wind autumn leaves dancing round my feet
I stroke your hear and blew away the dust your pale and fading stare
where are you now? I don't really care you broke a lover's vow
I found the tree our scratches in the rind
I tried to read mossy names unsigned tiny letters hastily written down finally
blue turns grey - margins fray but memories stay images do remain
sentences stay the same plans get disarranged symbols changed
I hope you've lost all the shots I hope you've torn them apart
I hope you've burned all the words I wrote down - in believe
wish I could wipe out the trace wish I could stop giving chase
guess I could wipe out the trace guess I could stop giving chase
turning around myself for too long I've lost what's going on
banning all what's left in a chamber I feel fine keeping my head above water
I survive still too weak - to take your things, torn them apart
still too proud - to call your things great memories who are you now?
I don't really care where are you now? I don't really care I walked the hill
touched by wind autumn leaves dancing round my feet
guess I could wipe out your trace guess I could stop giving chase
turning around myself for too long I've lsot what's going on
still too weak - to take your things, torn them apart
I'm looking forward to that day
still too proud - to call your things great memories
I deny don't want to glorify
kissed your lips - they had the taste of drying wax
badly surprised I turned away shut the door - having just left the rack
seemed I had left the play smelt your scent - it put a neelde in my heart
I wasn't ready for the frayCarmen..Carmen...Carmen...
Tonight I am aching, my body is shaking
Tonight Carmen's coming back home
Tonight there'll be no room for tears in my bedroom
Tonight Carmen's coming back home.
Tonight as I stand here I notice my hand here
Is trembling as never before
My feelings I can't hide, resistance has all died
My pride will rush outside
The moment she walks through the door.
The lips that have kissed her,
That's loved her and missed her
Are lips that have cursed her at night
In anguish and torment, I've cursed as the night went
From darkness till dawn's golden light
I thought of just taking these two hands and breaking
The body I'm waiting to touch
I find while I'm waiting, there's no time for hating
While anticipating, the woman I've wanted so much.
I've placed pretty flowers to brighten the hours
I put brand new sheets on the bed
I'm nervous, I'm trembling, recalling remembering
The way that she tosses her head.
I've given much thought to the fact that I ought to
have more control over my life
How can I fight it, how can I deny it,
There's no way to hide it
The love that I have for my wife.
Carmen..Carmen...Carmen...
