Laura

Words & Music: Chris Malme

Inspiration: Twin Peaks/The Secret Diaries of Laura Palmer
You should have known there were games you shouldn't play,
But still you dared, just to keep the blues at bay.
You thought it all was a dreamworld,
The shadows would fade in the day.
You never thought that the dream would come to stay.

You told yourself it was just a fantasy;
That when he came, it was only make-believe.
A lover seen only by moonlight,
Your every whim he'd obey.
You never thought that the dream would come to stay.

      You walked with fire, thinking it was just a game.
      Seems that others didn't see it quite the same.

Now when your dream intrudes into your life
The fear it brings will cut you like a knife.
Your old life will fade to a memory
You've entered the world of the fey.
You never thought that the dream would come to stay.

      There are more things in the night than a crazy young girl's dreams,
      And you you know the world is never quite the way it seems.

You should have known there were games you shouldn't play...
Games you shouldn't play...
Games you shouldn't play...
