(Verlaine)
|
I've been given a fortune
|
a fortune in lies
|
so spoke Laura
|
as she closed her eyes
|
One by one
|
the lights are going out
|
Names are forgotten
|
There's darkness in the house
|
|
So Laura came to the water
|
without a word on her breath
|
so Laura came to the water...
|
|
where is the fellow who knows her by heart
|
who cares not a thing for those dealing in part
|
There comes coolness
|
to the palm of her hand
|
as she watches the lilies
|
blooming in the sand
|
|
So Laura came to the water
|
without a word on her breath
|
so Laura came to the water...
|
