Testo The Pillow - UB40 feat. John Holt
Testo della canzone The Pillow (UB40 feat. John Holt), tratta dall'album UB40 Present The Fathers Of Reggae
Daylight dreaming
Nighttime scheming, wheeling and dealing
A smile for every passing car
And when they stop with doors ajar
She shrugs and whispers que sera
And turns her thoughts to the pillow
Her face is etched with memories
She finds no joy among the sleaze
It's hard when you've been paid to please
So she turns her thoughts to the pillow
Daylight comes she rests her head
The beauty of an empty bed
She dreams of happy days instead
Of brooding on tomorrow, tomorrow
She swapped her dreams of shining lights
For pushers, bawds and money fights
For nameless faces in red lights
So she turns her head to the pillow
Those black eyes don't hurt no more
She's heard of jokes and jive before
She's felt the long arm of the law
So she turns her head to the pillow
Daylight comes she rests her head
The beauty of an empty bed
She dreams of happy days instead
Of brooding on tomorrow, tomorrow
Taking jabs was not for fun
It made her feel like going on
But now she's hurt when it's all gone
And she turns her head to the pillow
She takes a blade and breaks her skin
Sweet life flows from within
The white clouds in her hair gone dim
And she turns her head to the pillow
Sunlight creeps across her head
Pale beauty in a crimson bed
No dream of happy days ahead
She'll have no more tomorrow
