Things

Made Famous By. BRYAN FERRY

(Q www.singtotheworld.com
Oh will you never
let me be?
Oh will you never

set me free?
The ties that bound us
are still around us.

There's no escape that
I can see
And still those little

things remain
That bring me

happiness or pain
A cigarette that bears

a lipstick's traces
An airline ticket to

romantic places
And still my heart has
wings. These foolish

things, remind me
of you
A tinkling piano in the

next apartment
Those stumbling words

that told you what my
heart meant
A fairground's painted
swings. These foolish

things, remind me
of you
You came. you saw,

you conquered me
When you did that

to me, I somehow knew
that this had to be
The winds of March

that make my heart a
dancer
A telephone that rings

but who's to answer?
Oh how the ghost of
you clings. These

foolish things, remind
me of you
Gardenia perfume

ling'ring on a pillow
Wild strawberries only

seven Francs a kilo
And still my heart has
wings. These foolish

things, remind me
of you
The park at

evening when the bell
has sounded
The Isle De France

with all the girls
around it
The beauty that is
spring. These foolish

things. remind me
of you
I know that this

was bound to be
These things have

haunted me, for you've
entirely enchanted me
The sigh of midnight

trains in empty stations
Silk stockings thrown

aside, dance invitations
Oh how the ghost of
you clings. These

foolish things, remind
me of you
First daffodils and long

excited cables
And candlelight on little

corner tables
And still my heart has
wings. These foolish

things, remind me
of you
The smile of Garbo and

the scent of roses
The waiters whistling

as the last bar closes
The song that Crosby
sings. These foolish

things, remind me
of you
How strange, how

sweet to find you still
These things are dear

to me. They seem to
bring you so near to me
The scent of

smouldering leaves,
the wail of steamers
Two lovers on the

street who walk like
dreamers
Oh how the ghost of
you clings. These

foolish things, remind
me of you, just you
