The Tear Garden — Déjà Vu lyrics

Lyrics

It was a cold November evening and I should have worn a coat
I shivered, waiting for the ferry boat to carry me to you
Could see you dancing in the harbour lights; your hair an orange flame
You’d turn away, swing on a crane
Always quite the same…
The same! The same!
It’s always quite the same
Rewind! Re-live it all again and again
You’d tiptoe halfway across a rooftop, drop headfirst in the river
You’d stretch out for a helping hand and once again I’d stand there,
not close enough to touch, but I heard you call my name as you died
And the ferry boat? It never did arrive…
