What We Really Were - Mission Of Burma

It seems years and years ago that

People saw the sun

We would sleep on beaches

Now must I go sleep alone

Between clean whole sheets

But when I was with you we slept wrapped up

Of course you must know that it did all end

How then to recall what we really were

Of course you must know that it did all end

Nothing that perfect or simple ever lasts

For long

That haunting song you sang about

Picking roses and dropping them in the beloveds lap as she dreamed

The translation clumsy

Maybe it was that other song you sang about the beautiful dress that gets torn

<Backmasked:Saw the sun, we would sleep on beaches...now must I go sleep alone

between clean whole sheets, but when I was with you we slept wrapped up,

it seems years and years ago that people saw the sun, we would sleep on

beaches...>

Of course you must know that it did all end

How then to recall what we really were

Of course you must know that it did all end

Nothing that perfect or simple ever lasts

For long
