Songtexte Torch - Live - Soft Cell

See her eyes, they are bright tonight
See the stars coming out tonight
See the moon looking down tonight
See how they light your way tonight
See her eyes, they are bright tonight
See the stars coming out tonight

I'm lost again and I'm on the run
I'm looking for love in a sad song
With your avenger eyes and your cat-like ways
I can't hold you, I am a fool for you to be cruel
I'm leaning on this bar listening to you singing your sad song
It rings in my ears and I start to cry

He's searching, she's showing
See him held in her deep, deep spell
He knows she's glowing
And I can't find within my mind a way to go
And I can't look deep into your light and shout
"Hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me"

I hear the saxophone and it tears my soul
And we're feeling old, feeling so cold
She is the torch and she is the theme
She could be a dream but, oh boy, is she real
Try to avoid her eyes, to avoid her words
They will hit you with all that you feel

He's searching, she's showing
See him held in her deep, deep spell
He knows she's glowing
And I can't find within my mind a way to go
And I can't look deep into your light and shout
"Hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me"

See her eyes, they are bright tonight
See the stars coming out tonight
See the moon looking down tonight
See how they light your way tonight
See my eyes, they are bright tonight
See my hands reaching out tonight
Hear my words, they are dynamite
See how they light your way tonight
Tonight

When I first saw you, you reminded me of Billie Holiday
In a shimmering, backless, black sequined dress
And a single white gardenia
A girl or a guy as a girl, I couldn't quite tell
In the smoky half light
You sang a torch song, it was about my life
I was drunk, I cried and made a fool of myself
I left quickly into the neon soaked, rainy night
I tried to forget you but those words just kept on and on

Calling, calling

Calling, calling

See her eyes, they are bright tonight
See the stars coming out tonight
See the moon looking down tonight
See how they light your way tonight
See my eyes, they are bright tonight
See my hands reaching out tonight
Hear my words, they are dynamite
See how they light your way tonight

Thank you
Welcome to another trawl through the
Backrooms and the alleyways of life
