NO MANDALAY

from Longshore Drift (Album) by Pat Orchard

/

lyrics

Well I thought that I knew it all.
Wasn’t I the biggest fool?
Ignored the lessons taught.
Immune, well, so I thought.
I met you.
And I was caught.

No Mandalay.

So should I sing of love?
It’s no gift from the Gods above,
(More a fist in a velvet glove
Or a kiss that tastes of blood)
Is this what I've been dreaming of?

No Mandalay
No Mandalay

Oh! The world is a hungry place.
Devours the hours
And a pretty face.

And time?
Is a patient enemy.
Time.
Took you away from me.

Far from this subway.
To the sea.
