La Scaltra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Forgive me, Gloria
And the sun in my eyes
The moon in my heart
Wave after wave comes to tear me apart
No lights on ghost avenue
As she passed away with a smile
And tears in her eyes
No lights on ghost avenue
As he drove slowly near
She's lying cold on the floor
And eyes stare at her
And the sun in my eyes
The moon in my heart
Wave after wave comes to tear me apart
No lights on ghost avenue
As he puts his heart in her hand
Cold fingers dedicate no more
As he cries her name
No lights on ghost avenue
A cold wind blows down the street
He's crying blood on the floor
Alone in abysmal grief
And the sun in my eyes
The moon in my heart
Wave after wave comes to tear me apart
And the sun in my eyes
The moon in my heart
Wave after wave comes to tear me apart
And the sun in my eyes
The moon in my heart
Wave after wave comes to tear me apart
And the sun in my eyes
The moon in my heart
Wave after wave comes to tear me apart
