Simple Minds – Sad Affair

I called you last night

But I got no reply

There’s something not right

By the look in your eye

Makes me laugh

To walk the path

So many pass this way

It’s so unreal

I can’t help but feel

I gotta wake you from this daze

Listen to a world of your own

You’ve got to leave me alone

Sweet mother calling up now

Don’t want to speak to no fool

She say I got to look out

For I’ve got to find the jewels

I have some precious moments

Into the night I stare

To dream of something special

Ooh Another sad affair

When all your trust

Turns to dust

And you’re lost for words to say

You’ve got so much more to see before

You turn to walk away

Listen to a world of your own

You’ve got to leave me alone.

Ooh another sad affair

Another sad affair

Ooh another sad affair

Another sad affair

It makes me laugh to walk this path

So many pass this way

It’s so unreal

I can’t help but feel

I gotta wake you from this daze
