Cigarette Curls Songtext
von Beth Orton

There she stood, her cigarette curls
A laugh that comes right out of the earth
And I swear in them strawberry fields
When it got real so easily
Time caught up with me
Eventually time came true

There she stood, her cigarette curls
The curve beneath the crop of her shirt
And I swear in an instant
Time grew distant, time moved so slow

And I did what I knew I would do
I did everything I told you not to
I was running, I was afraid, I was afraid
I was afraid


All, all is lost now
All goes wrong now so easily
There she stands, her cigarette curls
A laugh that comes right out of the dirt

And I swear in an instant, time grew distant
Time moves faster than the pain
I always thought I′d see your face again
Always thought I'd see your face again

And I did what I knew I would do
I did everything I told you not to
I was running, I was alone, I was alone
I was alone

But I did what I knew I would do
I did everything I said I wouldn′t do
I was running, I was afraid, I was afraid
Yeah, I got afraid, yeah, I got afraid
I was afraid
