Lady K lyrics
by Emilíana Torrini
[Verse 1]
I have been waiting to tell you it's hard to find the words
But my secret's out and running rife through London
And I cannot bear you hearing it from someone else
Today my love affair broke, she left me inconsolable
She captivated me, beguiled me like a siren
Want to possess her, to own her lovely lines
My heart is slow to want and slow to act
But when it catches fire, it's almost spiritual
My obsession with the lightness of her promise
Thought I was put here on this еarth to serve my goddess
[Verse 2]
My Lady Kеrylos is 28 feet long
And you wouldn't know it, she is 70 years old
We spent one summer on her at the Isle of Wight
We had no money to take her out the boatyard
So we just pretended we were far at sea
And little Zoe captained our wildest dreams
We fought monstrous seabirds for precious chips
And sailed along colossal creatures into giant waves
[Pre-Chorus 1]
It was to be a surprise
But like Americans, money speaks loud
A wealthy one came along and paid
Double in a suitcase full of cash
I had booked the first passage through France
That is how I took Lady K for granted
[Chorus]
But Lady Kerylos and I were not to be
So another dream explodes
And joins my heart like faded confetti
On the bottom of the seven seas
I so wished to sail in my special Lady K
[Chorus]
But Lady Kerylos and I were not to be
So another dream explodes
And joins my heart like faded confetti
On the bottom of the seven seas
I so wished to sail in my special Lady K
[Bridge]
Mm, jealous yet?
I can sense it through your letter
Deep grooves almost tearing through the paper
Though this fills me with a wicked sense of pleasure
Now you know the truth about my
[Chorus]
But Lady Kerylos and I were not to be
So another dream explodes
And joins my heart like faded confetti
On the bottom of the seven seas
I so wished to sail in my special Lady K
[Chorus]
But Lady Kerylos and I were not to be
So another dream explodes
And joins my heart like faded confetti
On the bottom of the seven seas
I so wished to sail in my special Lady K
