Madeleine Lyrics

Transcribed by Mun-Hou Lo


I've never been to Rome

But I don't need to go

I don't need to go to know

Life would be sweet and slow


The traffic sign; the washing line

Down Holloway Road she goes, wasting time


Just a little sleep

I need some dreams to keep

To keep my mind from running through

The stupid things I do


The shopping's done; the kettle's on

And if he calls today I may come undone


Madeleine, could you explain?

Madeleine, did she mention my name?


Somewhere in the East

A caravan rolled on

The waters flowed on through the town

The rain fell on everyone


Madeleine, could you explain?

Madeleine, did she mention my name?

Madeleine, could you explain?

Madeleine, did she mention my name?


Do-do-do-do-do...
