What We Really Were Lyrics & Tabs by Mission of Burma
What We Really Were
guitar chords lyrics
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
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
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
