《Veronica》歌词:
[00:06.86]Is it all in that pretty little head of yours?
[00:10.64]What goes on in that place in the dark?
[00:13.28]Well I used to know a girl and
[00:15.18]I would have sworn that her name was Veronica
[00:20.30]Well she used to have a carefree mind of herown
[00:22.95]and a delicate look in her eye
[00:26.11]These days I'm afraid she's not even sure
[00:29.21]if her name is Veronica
[00:32.13]Do you suppose, that waiting hands on eyes,
[00:35.14]Veronica has gone to hide?
[00:38.28]And all the time she laughs at those
[00:42.05]who shout her name and steal her clothes
[00:45.49]Veronica
[00:47.93]Veronica
[00:57.22]Did the days drag by? Did the favours wane?
[01:00.81]Did he roam down the town all the time?
[01:03.50]Will you wake from your dream,
[01:05.00]with a wolf at the door,
[01:07.18]reaching out for Veronica
[01:10.87]Well it was all of sixty-five years ago
[01:13.17]When the world was the street where she lived
[01:16.58]And a young man sailed on a ship in the sea
[01:19.16]With a picture of Veronica
[01:22.76]On the "Empress of India"
[01:27.54]And as she closed her eyes upon the world and
[01:33.70]picked upon the bones of last week's news
[01:39.33]She spoke his name outloud again
[01:42.43]Do you suppose, that waiting hands on eyes,
[01:47.44]Veronica has gone to hide?
[01:50.82]And all the time she laughs at those
[01:53.35]who shout her name and steal her clothes
[01:57.08]Veronica
[02:00.22]Veronica
[02:09.28]Veronica sits in her favourite chair
[02:12.29]and she sits very quiet and still
[02:16.20]And they call her a name that they never get right
[02:18.18]and if they don't then nobody else will
[02:22.14]But she used to have a carefree mind of her own,
[02:24.67]with devilish look in her eye
[02:28.45]Saying "You can call me anything you like,
[02:31.54]but my name is Veronica"
[02:34.01]Do you suppose, that waiting hands on eyes,
[02:37.49]Veronica has gone to hide?
[02:40.43]And all the time she laughs at those
[02:43.82]who shout her name and steal her clothes
[02:47.41]Veronica
[02:50.16]Veronica
