There was that girl I used to know
|
|
She'd tease me about my name
|
|
Fan the embers long enough
|
|
I sometimes catch her flame
|
|
The soothing voice of distance tells me
|
|
"That was just a fling"
|
|
Other music fills my ears
|
|
But I still hear her sing :
|
|
She sings :
|
|
Paddy Joe, say Paddy Joe
|
|
Don't you remember me ?
|
|
How long ago one gorgeous night
|
|
We let the stars go
|
|
Paddy Joe, say Paddy Joe
|
|
Don't you remember me ?
|
|
How long ago one gorgeous night
|
|
We let the stars go free
|
|
There was a boy I used to be
|
|
I guess that he was cold
|
|
If she came to buy him now
|
|
How cheaply he'd be sold
|
|
But the light is gone and it is dark
|
|
What used to be the sky
|
|
Is suddenly embarrassing
|
|
To the naked eye
|
|
|
You see :
|
|
Paddy Joe, see Paddy Joe
|
|
Can't face this memory
|
|
How long ago one gorgeous night
|
|
We let the stars go
|
|
Paddy Joe, see Paddy Joe
|
|
Can't face this memory
|
|
How long ago one gorgeous night
|
|
We let the stars go
|
|
Long ago one gorgeous night
|
|
We let the stars go
|
|
Long ago one stupid night
|
|
We let the stars go free
|
|
We let the stars go free
|
|
We let the stars go free
|
|
We let the stars go free
|
|
We let the stars go free
|
