lyrics

charlemagne, clearly something’s changed
I’m afraid of what you will not say
‘cos if you don’t belong with me
there must be something really wrong with me
so tell me please

I find myself on shifting sand
with nowhere safe for me to stand
I find myself adrift at sea
and you refuse to rescue me

charlemagne, you say you’re going away
I’m afraid to try to make you stay
I never should have let this start
you’ll only double cross my heart
I’ll cry and hope to die

I find myself alone at last
with phantoms of a love that’s passed
I find myself adrift in space
just left to moon over your face

I used to think you were the girl of my dreams
now get out of them
don’t leave me here alone with all of my thoughts
‘cos I’m scared of them
am I doomed to repeat myself?
I am doomed to repeat myself
again and again and again and again and again
and again and again and again and again

I find myself adrift at sea
and you refuse to rescue me

charlemagne, clearly something’s changed
I’m afraid of what you will not say
and there’s a part of me that knows
that this is how it has to go
but still
I’m feeling ill
I think I always will
but do I love you still?
no
