Colin Hay - The End Of Wilhemina lyrics

This is the end of Wilhelmina She was a girl who took a chance She could have been a ballerina But she could never stand the pain This is the end of Wilhelmina Smoke and flames they found without a trace And though it was known she used a double Guess she was always born for trouble She promised, she promised me Alas she lived a life of forgery Oh if you would see her, she's like a work of art Leaving only constant memory I never asked her to explain How she always won the game No magic I can find, no water into wine She had the lucky number nine She promised, she promised me She would always sing our lullaby Oh if you would hear her She would steal your heart And you'd still believe her, As the wind is blowing us apart I never asked her to explain How she always won the game No magic I can find, no water into wine She had the lucky number nine This is the end of Wilhelmina She was a girl who took a chance
