The Day Earth Stole Heaven Lyrics - Sleepwalkers - David Sylvian

Let me tell you about a friend 

She contends she will always love me 

It's this ability to lie and deceive 

That has lost me completely 

I could remind her of the facts 

Make her calm down and relax 

But why bother 

It's the shallowest defence 

To my utter astonishment it is over 

That little girl she wants to leave me 

That little girl wants something more. 

I'm optimistically inclined 

Given time she'll change her mind 

It's unlikely 

Let me tell you about a friend 

She contends she will always love me 

If you look at her sideways 

She will let you know 

Today's the day the earth stole heaven 

If you look at her sideways 

She will curse you out 

Today's the day the earth stole heaven 

If you look at her sideways 

There can be no doubt 

It's over
