(David Crosby and Phil Collins)
|
[Intro. (Synths and Percussion)]
|
|
It was one of those great stories that you can't put down at night
|
The hero knew what he had to do and he wasn't afraid to fight
|
The villain goes to jail while the hero goes free
|
I wish it were that simple for me
|
|
And the reason that she loved him
|
Was the reason I loved him too
|
And he never wondered what was right or wrong
|
He just knew, he just knew
|
|
[Instrumental (Synths and Electric Guitar)]
|
|
Shadow and shade mix together at dawn
|
But by the time you catch them simplicity's gone
|
So we sort through the pieces my friends and I
|
Searching through the darkness to find the breaks in the sky
|
|
And the reason that she loved him
|
Was the reason I loved him too
|
And he never wondered what was right or wrong
|
He just knew, he just knew
|
|
[Instrumental (Synths and Electric Guitar)]
|
|
And we wonder yes, we wonder
|
How do you make sense of this
|
When the hero kills the maiden
|
With his kiss, with his kiss
|
|
[Instrumental (Synths and Electric Guitar)]
|
|
Well, it was one of those great stories that you can't put down at night
|
The hero knew what he had to do and he wasn't afraid to fight
|
The villain goes to jail while the hero goes free
|
I wish it were that simple for me
|
|
Were that simple for me
|
