African queen

African queen Lyrics

I wake up in a sweat can't sleep I'm soaking wet
I toss and turn the whole night through
I keep going in and out of time
I just can't seem to bear
my world without you there
You've gone back to the life you knew
but somehow I just can't get back to mine

When you went away nothing I could say
could ever bring you back to me
Your lipstick cherry red the hours in my bed
still haunt my memory

Chorus:
A kiss in the rain on a dark afternoon
a heart so in pain 'cos love came too soon
A taste of her lips still lingers in vain
a sad souvenier of a kiss in the rain

He could offer more than long walks on the shore
My love for you was not enough
Girl I couldn't keep the flame alive
Still when I close my eyes it's you I visualise
though I try to shout it out
Don't you know these feelings still survive

Was it just a fling a temporary thing
I find the letters that you wrote
And though I set you free you're still a part of me
the spell can not be broke

Chorus:
A kiss in the rain on a dark afternoon
a heart so in pain 'cos love came too soon
A taste of her lips still lingers in vain
a sad souvenier of a kiss in the rain
