The Cure – Charlotte Sometimes lyrics

All the faces, all the voices blur
Change to one face, change to one voice
Prepare yourself for bed
The light seems bright and glares on white walls
All the sounds of Charlotte sometimes
Into the night with Charlotte sometimes
Night after night she lay alone in bed (Sometimes I stray to Charlotte sometimes)
Her eyes so open to the dark (Sometimes I stray to Charlotte sometimes)
The streets all looked so strange
They seemed so far away but Charlotte did not cry (Sometimes I stray to Charlotte sometimes)
The people seemed so close, playing expressionless games
The people seemed so close, so many other names
Sometimes I'm dreaming where all the other people dance (Sometimes I stray to Charlotte sometimes)
Sometimes I'm dreaming, Charlotte sometimes (Sometimes I stray to Charlotte sometimes)
Sometimes I'm dreaming expressionless the trance (Sometimes I stray to Charlotte sometimes)
Sometimes I'm dreaming, so many different names
Sometimes I'm dreaming, the sounds all stay the same
Sometimes I'm dreaming, she hopes to open shadowed eyes on a different world
Come to me scared princess, Charlotte sometimes
On that bleak track, see the sun is gone again (Sometimes I stray to Charlotte sometimes)
The tears were pouring down her face (Sometimes I stray to Charlotte sometimes)
She was crying and crying for a girl who died so many years before (Sometimes I stray to Charlotte sometimes)
Sometimes I dream where all the other people dance
Sometimes I dream, Charlotte sometimes
Sometimes I dream, the sounds all stay the same
Sometimes I'm dreaming, so many different names
Sometimes I dream, sometimes I dream
Charlotte sometimes crying for herself (Charlotte sometimes, Charlotte sometimes)
Charlotte sometimes dreams a wall around herself (Charlotte sometimes, Charlotte sometimes)
(Charlotte sometimes) But it's always with love with so much love it looks like everything else of Charlotte sometimes
(Charlotte sometimes) So far away, glass sealed and pretty, Charlotte sometimes (Charlotte sometimes)
