You were the teacher and you were the course You were the jockey and you were the horse You gave me nothing but a grief and a song A con woman, here and than gone You were a secret locked in my hand You were the hourglass, you were the sand You were that darkness right before dawn I once knew you, here and than gone So many days lost in a dream Trading my kingdom for a long retired queen So many nights caught in your net Losing my beat to a dizzy duet 36 months to forget I waited for you like thunder at night With flashes and fever of fear and delight But you gave me nothing but a grief and a song A con woman, here and than gone So many days lost in a dream Trading my kingdom for a long retired queen So many nights caught in your net Losing my beat to a dizzy duet 36 months, 36 months to forget So many days lost in a dream Trading my kingdom for a long retired queen So many nights caught in your net Losing my beat to a dizzy duet 36 months to forget It took me 36 months to forget
