Lyrics
Madeline
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.
She's got her head on the pillow
She's got her hands in my hair
She's got her eyes halfway open
I've got my lips everywhere
And I can feel the love she's feeling
As she whispers in my ear
But it's an other voice I hear
And it would kill her if she knew
When she talks to me I'm hearing you
Oh madeline
Always in the back on my mind
I'm trying so hard to move on
But you're a wall that I can't climb
I'm gonna put a diamond on her finger
I'm gonna say the words 'I do'
I'm gonna watch her walk down the aisle
And I'm gonna make believe it's you
And then we're gonna kiss with our arms around each other
Like a rope that won't untwist
So many chances missed
I wanna crawl out of my skin
When I think about what could have been
Oh madeline
Always in the back of my mind
I'm trying so hard to move on
But not seeing you is like going blind
And I thought the time
Would heal the wounds and lessen the pain
But I will spend the rest of my life
Silently screaming the name
Madeline (madeline)
Oh!
(Always in the back of my mind)
Madeline
(I m' trying so hard to move on)
So hard to move on
(But not seeing you is like going blind)
Oh madeline
She's got her head on the pillow
She's got her hands in my hair
She sees the one that she wanted
And I see you everywhere...
