Lyrics
Fake Bossa Nova
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.
Sometimes I pretend to be asleep
When I think of all the times we weep
I hide under books and dust and leaves
Reading all the letters that you keep
Under the shower
Counting the flowers
No one sees my tears
I feel as if I were a bee
I don't have the power
Not to feel sour
After all these years
Could you show me how to be a happy bee?
I remember when you're still my friend
You're so gentle like a country man
So your golden coat fell off one day
I should have stayed to help you hold the clay
Under the shower
Counting the flowers
No one sees my tears
I feel as if I were a bee
I don't have the power
Not to feel sour
After all these years
Could you show me how to be a happy bee?
Under the shower
Counting the flowers
No one sees my tears
I feel as if I were a bee
I don't have the power
Not to feel sour
After all these years
Could you show me how to be a happy bee?
