Lyrics

It was the day that Zorba died I think, just before she died
when I turned to her she didn't blink, I couldn't even cry
It was a Sunday, a sunny day, I had to think quite fast
I remember we'd talked before, of how she loved the sea

I'd take her there no matter how, I'd have to find a way
you can never plan the future even if you try
someone told me long ago and I often wondered why
though I understand it now, it made no sense at the time

Oh yeah it all comes at once, it never lets you down
now you're gone yes you're gone, we never said so long
I loved you bad, now I know, yes I know that you know
now I know how to love, what you can never have

A stroll in the dark in a world of make believe
it’s the best way to be, the best way to be
Yes I loved you bad, yes I know yes I know that you know
how much I had, and now you've gone

So I thought about a friend from old who always kept a boat
he could show me what to do and all show me where to go
we could sail it out a night, to a place you'd never see
just an owl and pussy cat, sailing out to sea

A stroll in the dark in a world of make believe
it’s the best way to be, the best way to be
Yes I loved you bad, yes I know yes I know that you know
how much I had, and now you've gone

Now look at me I'm smart that's why I'm playing in this bar
God, I've crossed a thousand bridges that had slowed me from the start
but you could never see them could you, you’d never see like me
No, I didn't think it possible, that it could ever be

And you can't even fool me, with your second hand jokes
I can read between the lines, I can write beyond the smoke
you've got your idols made of paper, draped upon the gold
I got a funny little pain, was it something that you sold

And how could you fall for a cunt like that
who never spoke a word of sense that you could understand
It was written long ago, but it always stays the same
The day that Zorba died I think, just before you did

A stroll in the dark in a world of make believe
it’s the best way to be, the best way to be
I loved you bad, yes I know yes I know that you know how much I had
A stroll in the dark in a world of make believe
it’s the best way to be, the best way to be
I loved you bad, yes I know that you know, how much I had

Now that you have gone, I can see for miles, because I’ve looked behind
I can feel your soul, I can touch your mind

It was the day that Zorba died I think just before she died
when I turned to her she didn't blink, I couldn't even cry
It was a Sunday, a sunny day, I had to think quite fast
I remember we'd talked before......of how we love the sea.
