SIR PEER

Sir peer awakes each morning at daybreak And peeks outside his window at tomorrow The city sleeps so sound Old dreams forgotten, new ones found He dreams about those starry nights in frisco When long-haired girls made love with their eyes And smiles at his forgotten years How soon they fade away, fade away I wonder why In the shadows of your past Tell me why Was there a flame that would not last Tell me why Nobody goes; to yesterdays shows Sir peer has made a life in New York city But lost himself unto his own self pity When he looked inside his mind Why did he fear what he would find? Tell me why In the shadows of your past Tell me why Was there a flame that would not last Tell me why Nobody goes; to yesterdays shows Anymore Now he finds himself alive again in chelsea The portraits of his youth hang by his side From the ashes of his past He rose to find himself at last So can you Tell me why In the shadows of your past Tell me why Was there a flame that would not last Tell me why In the shadows of your past Tell me why Was there a flame that would not last
