A Light Romance
This song is not about Marlena
but if you read carefully
you might understand why I
chose this song.
There is a girl inside the
woman
who's waiting to get free
She's washed a million dishes
She's always making tea
They think she is just a
mother
with nothing left inside
who swapped her dreams for
drudgery
the day she was a bride
But the dreams were not
forgotten
Just wrapped and packed
away
In the hope that she could
take them out
and dust them of one day.
There is a girl inside the
woman
and the mother she became
and half remembered songs
come to her lips again.
The girl would sing the
melody
but the woman stands in
doubt
and wonders what the price
would be
for letting the young girl
out.
It's just a light romance
It's nothing cruel, they
had no plans
how it came, who can explain
they just said hello
and foolishly they gazed
they should have gone
their separate ways
It's just the same old song
It's nothing cruel, nothing
wrong
It's just two fools
who know the rules
but breaks them all
and grasps at half a chance
they play their part
in a light romance
Living on the never never
Constant as the changing
weather
never sure who's at the
door
or the price they're going
to have to pay
It's just a secret glance
across he room
a touch of hands
that part too soon
that same old tune
that always plays
and let them dance as friends
they stand apart
as the music ends
Loving on the never never
Constant as the changing
weather
never sure who's at the
door
or the price they're going
to have to pay
