Shirley Songtext
von Lambchop

There was a time when Shirley was young
She was young all of the time
That was when there was reason and rhyme
That was when she would smile

There was a time when Shirley was fun
She was fun all of the time
That was when there was reason and rhyme
That was when she would smile

But Shirley was gone
And the thought of her stays on and on and

We lived in a wonderland
A land where the sun and the wonder ran
Where the days were crystalline clear
That was when she was there


We lived in a castle of mirrors that
Reflected perfection when she was near
We would lie, oh, side by side
And whisper low and softly sigh

But Shirley was gone
And the thought of her stays on and on and on

Oh, no, you can′t do that
Curiosity killed the cat
The reasons are a terrible lie
I only know that she has died

Shirley was dead with her mad man's knot ′round her neck
Now I spend my time with the thoughts of life in mind
Now I spend my time with the thoughts of life in mind

Tell Shirley I love her
But she'll never know
Tell Shirley I miss her
And I need her so

Tell Shirley I love her
But she'll never know
Tell Shirley I miss her
And I need her so
