Sweet Illusions Songtext
von Peter Capaldi

Sweet illusions, keep me company
Sweet illusions
Sweet illusions, run away with me
Sweet illusions

I see you in the mirror
I hear you sweetly call
Please don′t break the sweet illusion of it all

I still close the window
Shut out the city's roar
I swear I heard you breathing
The gentle rise and fall

And there you lay beside me
The way you′d always been
And my broken heart shook me away
From just another empty dream


Sweet illusions, keep me company
Sweet illusions
Sweet illusions, run away with me
Sweet illusions

I see you in the mirror
I hear you sweetly call
Please don't break the sweet illusion of it all

I saw you pass the rooftops
Your hair was raven-black
I held you close
And felt again the beating of your heart

But I know that I'm alone now
And is it ghosts I see?
They greet me like a fugitive
And tell me that love will always be

Sweet illusions, keep me company
Sweet illusions
Sweet illusions, run away with me
Sweet illusions

I see you in the mirror
I hear you sweetly call
Please don′t break the sweet illusion of it all
