When I Was A Man And You Were A Woman Lyrics - Singles - Foxx John

When I was a man and you were a woman 

We practiced ourselves every day 

Every night 

A man with no outline 

Walking in the shadows 

A girl with a blurred face 

Leaning in the windows 

Living our lives on the tides of this city 

Moving me to you 

Moving me through you 

Moving you to me 

Moving you through me 

When I was a man and you were a woman 

When I was a man and you were a woman 

We met in the arcades 

Where the people were meeting 

We danced down the avenues 

While the people were sleeping 

Living our lives on the tides of this city 

Moving me to you 

Moving me through you 

Moving you to me 

Moving you through me 

I was a swimmer in a foggy bar 

I was trying to find some sea 

I was the sound of the furniture 

I was a silhouette for years 

She had some blossom on the tip of her tongue 

She was the surface of a trade 

She was a model for an echo dress 

Oh she looked so gold against the grey 

When I was a man and you were a woman 

When I was a man and you were a woman
