"Lilacs" lyrics

"Lilacs"

No lies, in this here city
Only lilacs and promises from the wind
The sun won't rise for you, my pretty
It only burns with the memories of your sins

And my dream is you should be a sleeper dreaming
Of the colors that fade into the night
I'm listening to you, oh, softly breathing
In your perfumed room, our secrets and lies
Lies

Oh, your eyes are just like
The eyes of the sunrise
You never fall asleep

And here call my dreams
And they hold me gently
He showed me all the things
You never let me see
Oh, but in San Fransisco I can take you with me
You stole my heart
And I went bitterly

And my dream is you should a sleeper dreaming
Of the colors that fade into the night
I'm listening to you, oh, softly breathing
In your perfumed room, our secrets and lies
In your perfumed room, our secrets and lies

Oh, your eyes are just like
The eyes of the sunrise
You never fall asleep
Oh, your eyes are just like
The eyes of the sunrise
You never fall asleep

You never fall a-, fall asleep
You, you never, never, never, never sleep
Never sleep
Ooh, mmm
