So Long, My Lover Lyrics - Singles - Carl Barat

We met when hope was oh so young 

I took you from that drunken bum 

And held you like some father 

And we both mourned for each other 

Oh yes we were so full or hope than that you see 

You'd be a dancer, and a singer me 

You danced your dance and my sweet song was sung 

I was wreckless, you were free 

i took you round the world with me 

So holy together 

No devils could tear us apart 

The lights were bright on Portland Street 

And with the future at our feet 

we held onto each other 

But somewhere lost our way 

So long, my lover 

It's over 

Who was that boy that you did see 

Did having him bring you closer to me? 

so blindly you swung from the hook that our love hung from 

But retribution does come soon 

Two lovers in a hotel room 

You danced your dance and my sweet song was sung 

So Long, My Lover 

It's Over 

Fragile wings 

In a silver castle 

And love that's wrought 

Too hard and fast 

I guess that's how it came to be 

My dancing girl skipped away from me 

I was blind i could not see 

The mirror cracked in front of me 

Darling girl please understand 

There's no blood on your pretty hands 

So Long, my lover 

It's Over
