When She Walks In The Room - Bryan Ferry

When she walks in the room

Then you know

Why your date says it’s late

Time to go And you know you can’t leave

You must stay

'Til her laughter has drifted away

So you talk to the walls

Always know

Cause they’ve seen it all

And heard it all before

And your fair weather friends

Fail to speak

They’re so afraid still waters run deep

And they don’t understand

Or perceive

That you can’t see the woods for the trees

Christmas trees you were sure

Weren’t the sort

To build up your hopes

Then sell you short

Yeah to build you up And sell you short…

All your life you were taught to believe

Then a moment of truth — you’re deceived

all the wine in your life’s all dried up now is not the time to give up?

Like the soft paper cup that you squeeze

So you take this and that and then some more

And you make your way through the door

You make up your way through the door…
