Eddi Reader Wonderful Lie Lyrics

I remember all of this in slow motion
Every tawdry detail
Dust caught in the sun in your kitchen
Empty words, saying nothing

I nearly forgot who i was
I nearly forgot who i was
I nearly forgot who i was
I nearly forgot who i was

A church behind a road, a couple kissing
Both of us know what that means
I'd rather have that kiss than what is missing
Say anything you like and i'll believe you

I nearly forgot who i was
I nearly forgot who i was
I nearly forgot who i was
I nearly forgot who i was

What a wonderful lie
What a wonderful lie
What a wonderful lie
What a wonderful lie
What's the truth ever done for me?
I don't know
So tell me again Tell me again
Tell me again
This wonderful lie

All i want is something i can't have
And if you can't tell the truth
Then make it a wonderful lie

I see you dance with all your heroes
Each different doll in judy garland shoes
And if they can dance
Then why, oh why, can't i?

I nearly forgot who i was
I nearly forgot who i was
I nearly forgot who i was
I nearly forgot who i was

What a wonderful lie
What a wonderful lie
What a wonderful lie
What a wonderful lie
What's the truth ever done for me?
I don't know
So tell me again
Tell me again
Tell me again
Tell me again
This wonderful lie
This wonderful lie
This wonderful lie
