Why????????????

 

[alinarlv]

Please, write! My English is poor. I can not make out the words in this song.

 

[alinarlv]

Maybe I'm wrong formulated.
I do not ask to compose lyrics to music.





I ask you to listen to this song. And write a text. Write the words that occur in the song. They were there a little. The song lasts only a minute and a half.

Oh please!

Try googling it -- you'll get better results.

I tried that earlier for her. Couldn't find the lyrics anywhere. In fact i didn't get that many hits on the song itself, searching for the lyrics.

 

[alinarlv]

santuzza, thank you for the advice.

Unfortunately, this is no text in the web. I searched for three days. There are some with similar names. But another year, another performer. This text does not meet anywhere.

While I was writing a response, another member of the forum also tried to look for these words.



Thank you so much, Ugly. You have confirmed my words.

where were you when the lights went out?
were you only a dream that i only dreamed about?

where was i when the lights went out?
was i only the friend you knew you could do without?

was my heart just dying to tie one on?
why did i try to tag along?
was it only a slip? just a trip but not a fall?

was that all it was meant to be?
were my eyes just deceiving me?
was the light only blinding me?

or was it you, who couldn't see?

(when the lights went out) where were you?​

 

[posthuman]

was my heart just dying to tie one on?​

in case you don't know, because your first language is not English,
"to tie one on" is an idiom that means to get drunk or high -- it's an older way of saying "to catch a buzz"
it is not that common to say anymore, but still used sometimes by older people.

 

[alinarlv]

posthuman, thank you so much! You're a magician.

 

[santuzza]

I have to say, I was completely unfamiliar with this song. Now I've listened to it and have realized why I did not know it -- it's just not that great a song!
