Lyrics
Life In Mono
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.
The stranger sang a theme
From someone else's dream
The leaves began to fall
And no one spoke at all
But I can't seem to recall
When you came along
Ingenue
Ingenue
I just don't know what to do
The tree-lined avenue
Begins to fade from view
Drowning past regrets
In tea and cigarettes
But I can't seem to forget
When you came along
Ingenue
Ingenue
I just don't know what to do
Ingenue
I just don't know what to do
Ingenue
I just don't know what to do
Ingenue
I just don't know what to do
Ingenue
