Madeleine, what?s up with those tears in your eyes?

What happen when you shut down

And all the amber lights turned turn into red?

In the silence of your cave you feel safe,

You decorated with velvet drapes,

Outside you see the dark woods,
A
But you don't know there?s fields of gold ahead,

Remember when,
B
You used to sit and watch from the bridge,
D
And I wonder where the ships go

Who is on and what they would find out.

You wrote it in a notebook

And said some day that this would be a story to tell

And you?d put it in a movie, maybe be the movie star
