It´s a cold, cold September night
Maybe hundred days ago
Lonely road and a mystic light
Like a dream — I don´t know
An old house in the rain of England
And I knocked on the door
A young girl said: «I waited for you»
Candles burned on the floor
Lara Layne — you´re my sweet illusion
When the night comes I´m calling your name
Your smile´s so sweet — I´m drowning in confusion
I´ll never forget Lara Layne
Fading roses — she´s dressed in white
I heard the midnight rain
Just a tea in the candlelight
Her name was Lara Layne
On the next day an old man told me:
«She died in sixty—nine»
He did not believe my story
It´s a mystery of time
Lara Layne — you´re my sweet illusion
When the night comes I´m calling your name
Your smile´s so sweet — I´m drowning in confusion
I´ll never forget Lara Layne
Lara Layne — you´re my sweet illusion
When the night comes I´m calling your name
Your smile´s so sweet — I´m drowning in confusion
I´ll never forget Lara Layne
And whatever maybe
Time will come — time will show
Was it just an illusion, tell me
Lara where did you go?
Lara Layne — you´re my sweet illusion
When the night comes I´m calling your name
Your smile´s so sweet — I´m drowning in confusion
I´ll never forget Lara Layne
