Marc Almond - Once Was lyrics

Dancing The little lights are dancing And the clock on the wall is announcing another day I keep hearing things you used to say Go away And your mouth so dry As you fake the kiss Playing the part you do best you can Lying there naked across the sheets Like a lizard in the sand Beckoning me and failing to see The little girl you've become And you fall as you slink across the room Your lips parted in a kiss Parading your flesh in the way you know best Like a broken seductress I'm casting my mind back to my fourteenth year When I learnt about what we call the pleasure of love And it was new to me then And a wave of sadness shivers my skin As I think about what can never be felt again As I think about what never can be felt again
