Mandalay Lyrics
"This Life"

(spoken: You couldn't even bring yourself..)

..to stay, oh no
You had to go
spoil it all.
I know you had to go.
Now I find these endlessly
colourblind days
to fill.
You never will

(Take this life)
Take this life,
take it all
in your hands.
You were mine,
I could smile
(spoken:You understand, fine)
again

I dream;
You come to me,
(Come back to me)
and comfort me.
Now I dream.

Where did this time go?
Where did this time go?
Did your love go?

I know,
you had to go
spoil it all,
and now I know.
You never will.

(Take this life)
Take this life,
take it all
in your hands.
You were mine,
I could smile
(spoken:You understand, fine)

(Take this life)
Take this life,
take it all
in your hands.
You were mine,
I could smile
(spoken:You understand, fine)
again

Just what you said was cold advice
I discovered sticks go with knives
I discovered I could've died in your chains
Still I feel, so won't you stay
Oh, babe

(Take this life)
Take this life,
take it all
in your hands.
You were mine,
I could smile
(spoken:You understand, fine)

(Take this life)
Take this life,
take it all
in your hands.
You were mine,
I could smile
again.
