Lyrics

Louise


I first met Louise in Santa Fe
We drove long through the night until the break of day

Over the Stateline down through the west
Into the arms of a dream
She said “Listen you know I’m the best”
I knew she had the means

“You only have one life” she said
“So don’t be a fool. If it takes all night, I will take you there; I’ll teach you something you never learnt in school”

Louise, I was such a fool Louise
Louise, I was such a fool Louise

I first met Louise, I was seventeen
And now as I look back, I know it could never be

Out of the fire, into the pan, into the arms of a dream
Soon summer was over, and I had to leave

Life’s full of mysteries
Life’s full of rules
Time isn’t there just to kill
I should have known better
I should have seen the truth

Louise, I was such a fool Louise
Louise, I was such a fool Louise
Louise, I was such a fool Louise
Louise, I was such a fool Louise


I was such a fool
