Farewell, Farewell Adieu Cover

Lyrics

Jammin crepes Hazelnut and chocolate flakes The night that never ends We danced and swayed as friends Furtive smiles, the light embrace Sleeveless gown, sheer black lace He thought he loved you He really needed you Oh what could have been Farewell, farewell, adieu He thought he loved you He really needed to Yeah what should have been Farewell, farewell, adieu Farewell, farewell, adieu The years dissolve Cobblestones and castle walls The pounding, deafening beat You glisten in the heat The fired dough The archway sing the final show The pinot that we sipped Taste of you lingered on my lips He thought he loved you He really needed you Oh what could have been Farewell, farewell, adieu He thought he loved you He really needed to Yeah what should have been Farewell, farewell, adieu Farewell, farewell, adieu Farewell, farewell, adieu Adieu
