Oleanders Lyrics by Sally Oldfield

Instincts

0

You walk into the room
By the light of the Moon
It's a tropical night made for lovers
The dawn light comes creeping
I hear you whispering her name -
There's a devil in my soul stops me sleeping

I can't take no more
She's knocking on your door
She was drunk
On your love and the oleanders
Oh there's a crying in the night
And this feeling just ain't right
My tears are the color of the oleanders
My tears are the color of the oleanders
Smiles and glaces
And whispering in the night
The Moon in the shadow's revealing
Fantasies, they're all crowding in my mind
There's ice in my heart
Slowly stealing

I can't take no more
She's knocking on your door
She was drunk
On your love and the oleander
Oh there's a crying in the night
And this feeling just ain't right
My tears are the color of the oleanders
My tears are the color of the oleanders

The color of the oleanders
Oh how could you do it, babe
The color of the oleanders
My tears keep falling
The color of the oleanders
