Some Other Spring
Marianne Faithfull · Greatest Hits [1990]
Now I still cling to faded blossoms.
Fresh when one left crushed and torn
Like the love affair I'm on.
Some other spring, when twilight falls,
Will the night bring another to me ?
Not your kind will let me find
It's not true that love is blind.
Sun shines around me,
But deep in my heart, it's cold as ice.
Love wants you for me,
But can the story be told twice ?
Some other spring will my heart ring
Stirring to sing love's magic music.
Then forget the old duet
Find love with some other spring.
