Laura Jane

Ein altes Gasthaus steht am Straßenrand
irgendwo in Wales zwischen Meer und Land
über der Tür steht der Name Laura Janet.
Es war schon Mitternacht
ich hatte mich verfahr'n
vor dem gasthaus hielt ich den Wagen an - ich hatte Licht geseh'n.
eine Frau in Weiß ließ mich wortlos ein
ich schien der einzige Gast dieser Nacht zu sein
lächelnd sagte sie: Ich bin Laura Jane."
Und nach dem Essen trank ich Wein mit ihr
und sie lachte und sang
nem alten Mann und fing von der Nacht zu
erzählen an
von der seltsamen Nacht mit Laura Jane...
Und der Alte wurde bleich und sein Atem schwer
er starrte mich an und dann sagte er: "Sie ist schon seit hundert
Jahren tot...
vergiß Laura Jane
vergiß Laura Jane!"
You are the one
for you l've waited night and day
...
You are the one
for you l've waited night and day
...
You are the one
for you l've waited night and day
...
