The Poodles Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Living out a memory of a love that died

It's five and I'm driving home again
It's hard to believe that it's my last time
The man on the wireless cries again
"It's over, it's over"

Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Living out a memory of a love that died

It's late and I'm with my love alone
We drink to forget the coming storm
We love to the sound of our favorite song
Over and over

Dancing with tears in my eyes
Living out a memory of a love that died

It's time and we're in each others arms
It's time but I don't think we really care

Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by

I don't know if I like this or Tobi's version better. They both kick ass but are so different.

Christian Antonio Diols

This is the best cover for this song... great, Avantasia's is too normal... even though Tobi will always be great!

out of all the covers I"ve heard though, Freedom Call does sound the best. I think that's what he meant.
