This is not a folk song The midnight silence breathe Just blessed I am, well Tonight's rain just bleeds Like the passing of a life Tonight's Moon like a Spotlight shining an insight Or a silent movie That I don't know And it must be loving Has to be loving Don't you know it's only love There's nothing else to say I've nothing left to play But this is not a folk song you know You know that I don't have a pretty face Well what a shame And nowadays they say That's what it takes But this is not a folk song And time after time that story is told But it's getting old, hey Oh, the black that waits beneath the stars The voider space just suffocates the star light's reach As you and I go storm through bath no green The traffic lights change all through the night Green to red and red to green And back again This lifeline descends on me But this is not a folk song, no You know that I don't have a pretty face Well what a shame And nowadays they say That's what it takes But this is not a folk song, no And time after time that story is told But it's getting old, ho It doesn't matter what you feel inside It doesn't matter what you sing out loud 'Cause no one's listening anyway, hey It just matters that you look alright, you look alright, you look alright And time after time is just the same old shame But this is not a folk song, no oh You know that I don't have a pretty face Well what a shame And nowadays they say That's what it takes But this is not a folk song, no You think I don't care at all What is going wrong What is going wrong, yeah Di di di da bu va bu va bu param taram taa ooh hoo
