Lyrics
Dora
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.
He stood naked outside the door
Handsome with dark eyes flashing
The winds blew straight in off the moor
The sisters stopped their pacing
Through the flickering firelight
Shadows jumped across the floor
Pounding hearts and rushing blood
Romantic thoughts and fears
Dora, Dora, looking in the mirror
Acting out your mothers clothes
Dreaming, dreaming
No-one will ever know
The autumn leaves are falling
Through the dreary evening sky
In St. John's Wood a woman waits
Sitting on a leather sofa
The psychiatrists smiles sadly and licked his lips
As she uncrossed her legs
The ticking o an antique clock
Penetrates the gloom
In the pitch black dungeon
The slaves touched up the black paint
upstairs the maid took details on the phone
While the minister waited in the bathroom
She's twenty seven and with a lovely figure
Experienced in these careful arts
The purr of an expensive car
In the alleyway outside
