Lyrics
The Dream Of Evan And Chan
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It was familiar to me
The smoke too thick to breathe.
The tile floors glistened
I slowly stirred my drink.
And when you started to sing
You spoke with broken speech
That I could not understand
And then you grabbed me tightly.
I won't let go, I won't let go.
Even if you say so, oh no.
I've tried and tried with no results.
I won't let go, I won't let go.
He then played every song from
nineteen ninety three.
The crowd applauded as
he curtsied bashfully.
Your eyelashes tickled my neck
with every nervous blink,
And it was perfect
until the telephone started
Ringing ringing ringing ringing ringing off... (7x)
