The Manhattan Transfer - So You Say (Esquinas) Lyrics

SO YOU SAY (ESQUINAS)
Music by Djavan
Lyrics by Amanda McBroom

So you say
It's a feeling I'll get over someday
So you say
So you say
I should try
Just to let the flame inside me die
I should try
So you say
Against the wind
With my face turned to the empty side
Of loneliness
Midnight black and blue

So you say
That the world will keep on turning
So you say
So you say
Tell me why
All the stars have lost their mystery now
Tell me why
Tell me how
Where love has been
The taste of wine
Seems to linger on like distant perfume
And all of the memories
Carelessly left behind
Ghosts and lies
They haunt me wherever I go

So you say
That the pain of love will pass away
So you say
So you say

(Sax solo)

Before goodbye
I look for the fire behind your eyes
But they're cold as ice
I hear in your voice
The echo of love that's gone by
Now I cry
I'll love you for all of my life

So you say
It's a feeling I'll get over someday
So you say
So you say
