lyrics
For Juliet
the moon will shine the brightest beams
so she’d forget
that she no longer chases dreams
of silhouettes and men that may have never been
and games she let them win between
She says come in
and begs you not to close the door
Her foolish grin
reminds you what you’re coming for
You know her man is off to war
and he is far away from shore
so you keep coming back for more
Yes, he is far away from shore
so you keep coming back for more
And from her man
she never asked for anything
She understands
they can’t afford a diamond ring
So when they come
the lovers always have to bring
compensation for their fling
Her demons know
the truth that she won’t dare to tell
Her man did go
but not to war, just straight to hell
and now there’s nothing left to sell
but from the bottom of the well
she still insists that life is swell
She says there’s plenty love to sell
to all the men that ring the bell
For Juliet
the moon will shine the brightest beams
so she’d forget
her heart is bursting at the seams
It’s bleeding shreds of broken dreams
It had enough of foolish schemes
as they were taken to extremes
For Juliet there’s no more dreams
She had enough…
the moon will shine the brightest beams
so she’d forget
that she no longer chases dreams
of silhouettes and men that may have never been
and games she let them win between
She says come in
and begs you not to close the door
Her foolish grin
reminds you what you’re coming for
You know her man is off to war
and he is far away from shore
so you keep coming back for more
Yes, he is far away from shore
so you keep coming back for more
And from her man
she never asked for anything
She understands
they can’t afford a diamond ring
So when they come
the lovers always have to bring
compensation for their fling
Her demons know
the truth that she won’t dare to tell
Her man did go
but not to war, just straight to hell
and now there’s nothing left to sell
but from the bottom of the well
she still insists that life is swell
She says there’s plenty love to sell
to all the men that ring the bell
For Juliet
the moon will shine the brightest beams
so she’d forget
her heart is bursting at the seams
It’s bleeding shreds of broken dreams
It had enough of foolish schemes
as they were taken to extremes
For Juliet there’s no more dreams
She had enough…
