John Gold - Mandarine lyrics

Mandarine I try to sleep but I just keep remembering And hoping i awaken from a better dream Feeding on the things that break my back If it were summertime i'd probably take you home And we would smoke and rhyme But now you're through So whatever you do don't turn on the light You see it through what was true and you wonder why Every night And i believed you when you said your simple soul Was of a body who really means it The conversation turns to what's going wrong for you And i just couldn't believe that anything would come from you Because you say you're through and you won't then you do Then it's all mine Either your rose is in the shadows or your diamonds are too bright And we would talk about the northern lights And how paradise was not so far away And how we soon awaken to the tide some day But now the stars are round and behind your eyes every night And we would talk about the northern lights And how paradise was not so far away And how we soon awaken to the tide some day But now the stars are round and behind her eyes every night I believed you when you said your simple soul Was of a body who really means it And that's from somebody who really needs it
