When the rain commandeers What's left of your heart Some traitor signals in your head That's when you know the music won't stop And the ocean has left you for dead That tiny white star that shone from afar The dancer you knew in Algiers The woman with the spell She knew you so well Still her magic couldn't turn back the years Slow down my friend Oh I fear the end With a feeling I cannot reveal And the booze and the stuff Cannot fill me enough So just leave me with my half of the dеal That brilliant year Man it got you so lit That a candle could nevеr compete Snow falling down On sanctified ground Life on forever repeat
