《Ballad in 4/4》歌词

[00:00:00] Ballad in 4/4 - The Dream Academy

[00:00:02] I was loving marry go

[00:00:05] For seven years out of eight

[00:00:09] We carried on in secrecy

[00:00:13] In shadows I would wait

[00:00:17] I learned to love with her other life

[00:00:22] I wouldn't let it break us down

[00:00:25] 'Cause she said what she did behind my back

[00:00:30] Was unimportant when I was around

[00:00:34] One night when the leaves had turned to gold

[00:00:38] I sold my love for change

[00:00:42] I met a younger single girl

[00:00:46] And the balance got rearranged

[00:00:50] Maybe it helped me to feel less vulnerable

[00:00:54] Maybe it was just a seven year itch

[00:00:59] And I got a job with more money but I

[00:01:03] Lost the very thing that made me rich

[00:01:10] Months went by without incident

[00:01:14] 'Though I was living a life of lies

[00:01:18] Calculated to protect the innocent

[00:01:22] But when I saw her she would cry

[00:01:27] She begged me to tell her it was all over now

[00:01:32] She cried for me to set her free

[00:01:36] But I had to hold on to everything

[00:01:40] Couldn't bear to let her forget about me

[00:01:45] Oh well the rain was falling down

[00:01:50] And so she went away

[00:01:53] And I was buoyed up by the praise of sycophants

[00:01:58] And the false security of the take home pay

[00:02:03] Maybe she wrote just to see if I loved her still

[00:02:07] Maybe she wrote just to say goodbye

[00:02:11] But I never saw the words she wrote

[00:02:16] Only the tears that were in my eyes

[00:02:23] One day when the leaves are green again

[00:02:27] Maybe she'll let me in

[00:02:31] We'll sit and talk about everything

[00:02:35] Just like we were old friends

[00:02:39] But I couldn't ever get used to it

[00:02:43] No I wouldn't let it break us down

[00:02:47] 'Cause I know what I did behind her back

[00:02:51] Was unimportant when she was around

[00:02:56] Unimportant when she was around

[00:03:00] Unimportant when she was around

[00:03:07] She was around

[00:03:10] But I couldn't ever get used to it

[00:03:14] No I wouldn't let it break us down
