Once I awoke
The shadow of your smile had crossed my mind
How could I know this was your last goodbye
That's slipping through the windmills of the night

You never understand when she's talking to you,
Little boy
You never understand when she's talking to you
She's too far away

Is it heaven or hell
We're drifting in the wake of our dreams
And the world is a clown who cries
And no one can tell is it real
Once I cried

Whenever I awoke without you
A stranger in the thunder of the dark
I'm praying to the sun to shine tonite
You never understand when she's talking to you,

Mon amour
You never understand when she's talking to you
She's too far away...
