Black shoes, a wool skirt,
I don't sleep anymore you know I'm watching,
Her sleep,
And everything that hurts her kills me.
I don't live anymore you know I'm burning
And everything that hurts her kills me,
Jealous and gorgeous,
I'm watching her sleep you know.
She leans, she swings,
Nothing's lacking you see
Nor the silences, nor the pledges, nor the ribbons,
Loyal and blue
Nor the quarrels of lovers
(Chorus)
Black shoes, a wool skirt,
I don't sleep anymore you know I'm watching,
Her sleep,
And everything that hurts her kills me.
When the evening comes,
Don't believe we'll make love in the dark,
And in the bedroom,
She laughs, she lies
And I'm dying, of my love for her
Other times, I think of her,
As of the good Lord without believing it too much,
The mad hope, of crazy love
She dances, she sings and when she leaves
I wait, I wait, I truly pray.
(Chorus)
Black shoes, a wool skirt,
I don't sleep anymore you know I'm watching,
Her sleep,
And everything that hurts her kills me.
She leans, she swings,
Nothing's lacking you see
Nor the silences, nor the pledges, nor the ribbons,
Loyal and blue
Nor the quarrels of lovers
Other times, I think of her,
As of the good Lord without believing it too much,
Other times, I think of her,
As of the good Lord without believing it too much,
The mad hope, of crazy love
She dances, she sings and when she leaves
I wait, I wait, I truly pray.
(Chorus)
Black shoes, a wool skirt,
I don't sleep anymore you know I'm watching,
Her sleep,
And everything that hurts her kills me.
