Kayleigh

Kayleigh von Marillion, ein großer Song meiner Jugend. Das Album Misplaced Childhood zählt sicher zu den besten aus diesen Tagen.

Do you remember?
 Chalk hearts melting on a playground wall.
Do you remember?
 Dawn escapes from moonwashed college halls.
Do you remember?
 The cherry blossom in the market square.
Do you remember?
 I thought it was confetti in our hair.

By the way, didn't I break your heart?
Please excuse me, I never meant to break your heart.
So sorry, I never meant to break your heart,
But you broke mine.

Kayleigh, is it too late to say I'm sorry?
And Kayleigh, could we get it together again?
I just can't go on pretending that it came to a natural end.

Kayleigh, oh I never thought I'd miss you,
And Kayleigh I thought that we'd always be friends.
We said our love would last forever,
So how did it come to this bitter end?

Do you remember?
 Barefoot on the lawn with shooting stars.
Do you remember?
 Loving on the floor in Belsize Park.
Do you remember?
 Dancing in stilettoes in the snow.
Do you remember?
 You never understood I had to go.

By the way, didn't I break your heart?
Please excuse me, I never meant to break your heart.
So sorry, I never meant to break your heart,
But you broke mine.

Kayleigh, I just wanna say I'm sorry,
But Kayleigh, I'm too scared to pick up the phone,
To hear you've found another lover to patch up our broken home.

Kayleigh, I'm still trying to write that love song,
Kayleigh, it's more important to me now youre gone.
Maybe it will prove that we were right,
Or it will prove that I was wrong.
