7twenty7 Lyrics

Roxette

7twenty7 is ready to move
You know she packed her bags
With nothing left to prove
I thought I didnt care
Now Im fallin through
Wouldnt you?
Well, its a long long journey to the other side
Oh Ive been wishin all night I was on that flight
And god, youd better take care of the sweetest eyes
I hear myself swallowin the tears I cry I hear myself swallowin the tears I cry
7twenty7 is up in the air
You know I feel her hands
On me everywhere
I thought I didnt care
Now Im saying a prayer
Hey mister, do you know the way
To salvation square?
Its a long long winter til the birds will sing
Oh Ill be waitin all night for the phone to ring
Im goin up in smoke and phoney magazines
Everything is just pieces of my stupid dreams
Everything is just spieces of my stupid dreams
With the clouds passin by
With the clouds passin by
Its all right
7twenty7 is close to the sky
It carries the world
Between hello and goodbye
Like the monday we met
That disappeared in a breath
Like the sunday she left
Forever smellin of death
Another jet black night, another drink to go
Oh Ill be diving my head in the pure white snow
God, youd better take care of this gold skinned friend
Tell me, will I ever see her again
Tell me, will I ever see her again
