The Verlaines – It Was Lyrics
Artist: The Verlaines
Song: It Was
He stayed to see the end of an era come around
While the road to the north filled with people getting out
And he mistook the dawn for the sun as it was going down
He had a song in his heart like the joy of spring
And he felt like he could have tackled anything
And he was sure in his mind that his great design
Was gonna stand the world upon its head with admiration
It was
A monumental failure
Everyone was saying, “Well I told you.”
After all he’s nothing but a dreamer
Who nevеr should have tried achieving anything еlse
I saw him before he was hidden in a shroud
Before all his dreams had come crashing to the ground
And I hear by rapport it would break your heart to see him now
Well he cracked like a bell and he turned to drink
Just a dull thud in place of a crystal ring
And the smile on his face
Still has not been traced
It hit the road the day before the final performance
It was
A monumental failure
Everyone was saying, “Well I told you.”
After all he’s nothing but a dreamer
He’s just a dreamer
Who should have tried achieving anything else
He should have had the sense to keep his dreams to himself
