Mandarine Lyrics - Singles - John Gold

Mandarine I try to sleep but I just keep remembering 

And hoping i awaken from a better dream 

Feeding on the things that break my back 

If it were summertime i'd probably take you home 

And we would smoke and rhyme 

But now you're through 

So whatever you do don't turn on the light 

You see it through what was true and you wonder why 

Every night 

And i believed you when you said your simple soul 

Was of a body who really means it 

The conversation turns to what's going wrong for you 

And i just couldn't believe that anything would come from you 

Because you say you're through and you won't then you do 

Then it's all mine 

Either your rose is in the shadows or your diamonds are too bright 

And we would talk about the northern lights 

And how paradise was not so far away 

And how we soon awaken to the tide some day 

But now the stars are round and behind your eyes every night 

And we would talk about the northern lights 

And how paradise was not so far away 

And how we soon awaken to the tide some day 

But now the stars are round and behind her eyes every night 

I believed you when you said your simple soul 

Was of a body who really means it 

And that's from somebody who really needs it
