Mandarine I try to sleep but I just keep remembering   And hoping i awaken from a better dream   Feeding on the things that break my back   If it were summertime i'd probably take you home   And we would smoke and rhyme   But now you're through   So whatever you do don't turn on the light   You see it through what was true and you wonder why   Every night   And i believed you when you said your simple soul   Was of a body who really means it   The conversation turns to what's going wrong for you   And i just couldn't believe that anything would come from you   Because you say you're through and you won't then you do   Then it's all mine   Either your rose is in the shadows or your diamonds are too bright   And we would talk about the northern lights   And how paradise was not so far away   And how we soon awaken to the tide some day   But now the stars are round and behind your eyes every night   And we would talk about the northern lights   And how paradise was not so far away   And how we soon awaken to the tide some day   But now the stars are round and behind her eyes every night   I believed you when you said your simple soul   Was of a body who really means it   And that's from somebody who really needs it
