Bryan Ferry - These Foolish Things Lyrics
(marvell,strachey,link)Oh will you never let me be?Oh will you never set me free?The ties that bound us are still around usThere´s no escape that I can seeAnd still those little things remainThat bring me happiness or painA cigarette that bears a lipsticks tracesAn airline ticket to romantic placesAnd still my heart has wingsThese foolish thingsRemind me of youA tinkling piano in the next apartmentThose stumbling words that told you what my heart meantA fairgrounds painted swingsThese foolish thingsRemind me of youYou came, you saw, you conquered meWhen you did that to me, I somehow knew that this had to beThe winds of march that make my heart a dancerA telephone that rings - but who´s to answer?Oh, how the ghost of you clingsThese foolish thingsRemind me of youGardenia perfume ling´ring on a pillowWild strawb´ries only seven francs a kiloAnd still my heart has wingsThese foolish thingsRemind me of youThe park at evening when the bell has soundedThe isle de france with all the girls around itThe beauty that is springThese foolish thingsRemind me of youI know that this was bound to beThese things have haunted meFor you´ve entirely enchanted meThe sigh of midnight trains in empty stationsSilk stockings thrown aside, dance invitationsOh, how the ghost of you clingsThese foolish thingsRemind me of youFirst daffodils and long excited cablesAnd candlelight on little corner tablesAnd still my heart has wingsThese foolish thingsRemind me of youThe smile of garbo and the scent of rosesThe waiters whistling as the last bar closesThe song that crosby singsThese foolish thingsRemind me of youHow strange, how sweet to find you stillThese things are dear to meThat seem to bring you so near to meThe scent of smould´ring leaves, the wail of steamersTwo lovers on the street who walk like dreamersOh, how the ghost of you clingsThese foolish thingsRemind me of you, just you
