Ballad In 4-4 lyrics

Artist  : Dream Academy 
Song : Ballad In 4-4
 


I was in love with a married girl
For seven
years out of eight
We carried on in
secrecy
In shadows I would wait
I learned
to love with her other life
I wouldn't let it
break us down
'Cause she said what she did
behind my back
Was unimportant when I was
around.
One night when the leaves had turned
to gold
I sold my love for change
I met a
younger single girl
And the balance got
rearranged
Maybe it helped me to feel less
vulnerable
Maybe it was just a seven year
itch
And I got a job with more money but
I
Lost the very thing that made me
rich
Months went by without
incident
'Though I was living a life of
lies
Calculated to protect the innocent
But
when I saw her she would cry
She begged me to
tell her it was all over now
She cried for me
to set her free
But I had to hold on to
everything
Couldn't bear to let her forget
about me
Oh well the rain was falling
down
And so she went away
And I was buoyed
up by the praise of sycophants
And the false
security of the take home pay
Maybe she wrote
just to see if I loved her still
Maybe she
wrote just to say goodbye
But I never saw the
words she wrote
Only the tears that were in my
eyes
One day when the leaves are green
again
Maybe she'll let me in
We'll sit and
talk about everything
Just like we were old
friends
But I couldn't ever get used to
it
No I wouldn't let it break us
down
'Cause I know what I did behind her
back
Was unimportant when she was
around
Unimportant when she was
around
Unimportant when she was around.
