A Blossom Fell
King Crimson · Other Songs - King Crimson
It settled softly on the lips you turned to me
The gypsies say and i know why
"a falling blossom only touches lips that lie"
A blossom fell and very soon
I saw you kissing someone new beneath the moon
I thought you loved me, you said you loved me
We planned together to dream forever
The dream has ended, for true love died
The night a blossom fell and touched two lips that lied
instrumental interlude
A blossom fell and very soon
I saw you kissing someone new beneath the moon
I thought you loved me, you said you loved me
We planned together to dream forever
The dream has ended, for true love died
The night a blossom fell and touched two lips that lied
