Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
And only yesterday you thought
You were Peter the Great
With all, all your troops
And only yesterday you thought
Your name shall be carved in stone
But how slowly goes the night
For a shy kind of guy
That you have become tonight
You've never been
In this room of your mind

And only yesterday you were
Possessed by luck
And you, you knew no fear
And your savage wit
Where did it go?
Where did it disappear?
And how slowly goes the night
For a shy kind of guy
That you have become tonight
How strange
How strange to see you cry!

To see you cry
To see you cry
To see you cry

How slowly goes the night
For a shy kind of guy
That you have become tonight

How strange
How strange to see you cry
To see you cry
To see you cry
And only yesterday you thought   You were Peter the Great   With all, all your troops   And only yesterday you thought   Your name shall be carved in stone   But how slowly goes the night   For a shy kind of guy   That you have become tonight   You've never been   In this room of your mind      And only yesterday you were   Possessed by luck   And you, you knew no fear   And your savage wit   Where did it go?   Where did it disappear?   And how slowly goes the night   For a shy kind of guy   That you have become tonight   How strange   How strange to see you cry!      To see you cry   To see you cry   To see you cry      How slowly goes the night   For a shy kind of guy   That you have become tonight      How strange   How strange to see you cry   To see you cry   To see you cry
