Lyrics
Madeleine
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.
I've never been to rome
But I don't need to go
I don't need to go to know
Life would be sweet and slow
The traffic sign; the washing line
Down holloway road she goes, wasting time
Just a little sleep
I need some dreams to keep
To keep my mind from running through
The stupid things I do
The shopping's done; the kettle's on
And if he calls today I may come undone
Madeleine, could you explain?
Madeleine, did she mention my name?
Somewhere in the east
A caravan rolled on
The waters flowed on through the town
The rain fell on everyone
Madeleine, could you explain?
Madeleine, did she mention my name?
Madeleine, could you explain?
Madeleine, did she mention my name?
Do-do-do-do-do...
