Leading Men Lyrics - The Sparrows & The Nightingales - Wolfsheim

Talking loud, she's talking clear 

But no one really wants to hear 

No one really wants to know 

And her loneliness still grows 

Was it shame or was it fear 

When his devil's face appeared? 

And the wall between them grows 

The wall between them grows 

Tonight, velvet night 

He met her on the school yard 

Funny man behind the fence 

Started with a real deception 

He didn't try in vain 

Who has failed this, who once more? 

A tall man offering sweets 

No one wants to think about it 

And evil sows its seeds 

He tries to hold her in his arms 

He always tries to keep her warm 

Blue-eyed girl, grown up too fast 

Lost her innocence at last 

Cruel revenge hurt in her heart 

Breaks dependences apart 

And now he's begging on his knees 

Lay your guilty hands on me 

And the wall between them grows 

The wall between them grows 

Tonight, velvet night 

I should be so lucky 

But I can't help feeling blue 

Felt no real attention 

Unsatisfied by youth 

You brought up a lonely child 

Without a human shape 

Made the greatest sacrifice 

Realized it much too late, too late
