Bilingual
You brought me lilacs on my birthday once
That should have been enough
But sometimes gentlemen need stronger stuff
A turning of the head, a knowing smile in bed
I buy you necklaces you never wear
To show how much I care
I might as well have brought you bouquets of thin air
For crystal beads can't fill a woman's needs
And where are we now?
ย
Where are we now?
A thousand miles apart
What have we now?
What have we now?
ย
Not even love enough
To break each other's hearts
ย
Is there some turning in the road we must have missed
That's brought us here like this?
Taking each other like the dying take a kiss
Our smiles are frowns that pull each other down
Here comes the night again to cover up the day
And take your face away
The sum and substance of a lifetime that we've made
Is nothing now as the day begins to fade
And where are we now?
Where are we now?
A thousand miles apart
What have we now?
What have we now?
Not even love enough
To break each other's hearts
ย
We sit within the gloom of just this little room
Wondering, where are we now?
