My life had been a river
Following the same, pre-destinated course,
Suddenly detouring so unexpectedly
With uncompromising force.
My strongholds broke down all too easily;
I remember well,
How it did embarrass me;
I hung on to his every smile
Marveled at his style
Just like that...
He walked into my house
As smug as a cat
He was handsome and smart
Walked away with my heart
Just like that...
He found a temporary home in my flat
Telling innocent lies
Throwing dust in my eyes
But I led him on,
Knowing that someday soon he'd be gone
Just like that...
As though he only stopped awhile for a chat;
But my secrets he learned
Leaving no stone unturned
And once again, the river's flowing slowly,
Following the same and uneventful course.
Now the tears have dried,
It's become a pleasant break,
I recall without remorse.
But now and then
I wonder where he is
And I will admit,
He had something that I miss.
I guess he was a rolling stone;
The only one I've known.
Just like that...
He walked into my house
As smug as a cat
He was handsome and smart
Walked away with my heart
Just like that...
He found a temporary home in my flat
Telling innocent lies
Throwing dust in my eyes
But I led him on,
Knowing that someday soon he'd be gone
Just like that...
As though he only stopped awhile for a chat;
But my secrets he learned
Leaving no stone unturned
Until that day My life had been a river Following the same, pre-destinated course, Suddenly detouring so unexpectedly With uncompromising force. My strongholds broke down all too easily; I remember well, How it did embarrass me; I hung on to his every smile Marveled at his style Just like that... He walked into my house As smug as a cat He was handsome and smart Walked away with my heart Just like that... He found a temporary home in my flat Telling innocent lies Throwing dust in my eyes But I led him on, Knowing that someday soon he'd be gone Just like that... As though he only stopped awhile for a chat; But my secrets he learned Leaving no stone unturned And once again, the river's flowing slowly, Following the same and uneventful course. Now the tears have dried, It's become a pleasant break, I recall without remorse. But now and then I wonder where he is And I will admit, He had something that I miss.

As though he only stopped awhile for a chat; But my secrets he learned Leaving no stone unturned Explain Request ×
