Cinema - Michael Franks
Was once a lady
So broken hearted and undone
She nearly lost her faith
She'd ever meet her mate one day
Though love was nearby in fact about to make it's entrance
Later in the script but in the meantime
Behind her smile lived a loneliness
No Leonardo could hide
When hearts collide
Can they ever repair
Love never lasted off screen
How could she fly without wings
Losing each new leading man
To those unhappy endings
Behind her tears ebbed an emptiness
Vast as an ocean as blue
But no one knew
Of the weather within
Cinema aimed at the heart
None of the loves scenes were real
Simply rehearsing a part
She'd forgotten how to feel
Enter the one that the author created especially for her
The focus blurs
The composer writes strings
Cinema straight from the heart
Shot on location within
We see the past fade to black
We see happiness begin
