Song Lyrics

Night-time is falling on the Louvre.
It`s been a lazy afternoon.
We walk to the house, the air is clear,
The water`s still moving in the pool.
You say One word.
the same One sound.
thing It makes
again. the world go `round.
One word; You`ll see
we fight. you can`t win -
We`re in the same place
a game. but not the same spin.
Let it all If it fades away,
fade away. I don`t mind.

We were miles away, we were miles away,
We were miles and miles away.

Remember this oil by Augustus John?
These are the ones I found in Rome.
There are few things I keep for long.
When does your plane leave for Cologne?

I recall One word -
the train - I saw -
People danced that`s all it took
again. to turn them around.
One world Strange world,
we`re in. no sound.
We`ll find The same things
the same thing. are everywhere around.
Never mind... You`ll see,
with time, with time
we`ll dance again. we`ll dance again.
If it all fades away... Let it all fade dancing away.

All the sounds I heard One word,
on a summer night, I found,
and the quiet words that`s all it took
we exchanged. I felt to turn him around.
she was pulling back She watched.
to emphasize - He sighs.
I was falling He waits for
into Mona Lisa`s eyes. a touch of her eyes.
And she turned, And then
and she turned, she turns away.
she was far away. She won`t let him
She was miles away. touch her any more today.

She was miles away.
She was so many miles away.
