(Verlaine) I've been given a fortune a fortune in lies so spoke Laura as she closed her eyes One by one the lights are going out Names are forgotten There's darkness in the house So Laura came to the water without a word on her breath so Laura came to the water... where is the fellow who knows her by heart who cares not a thing for those dealing in part There comes coolness to the palm of her hand as she watches the lilies blooming in the sand So Laura came to the water without a word on her breath so Laura came to the water...
