A Fine and Foolish Thing

from Platys Yialos by Ali George

/

lyrics

Winter falls on a summer girl
In a foreign land in the West
She’s walking down to catch that bus
She’ll be feeling that wintery kiss once again

She says that she stays
In this cold land in part for me
Oh, my sweet little one
I think that’s a fine and foolish thing to do
Whoa

Oooh, oooh

Winter falls on a summer girl
As the bitter winds kiss her skin
We’re walking back from town tonight
And my words are cruel as the wind once again

They’re just foolish words
They are nothing compared
To how I feel deep beneath my disguise
Where pleasure and pain
And passion reside
Whoa

Winter falls on a summer girl
So, I hide her away from the cold
The bitter winds – they scream and sing
But our song is as sweet as the first wild primrose

Oooh, oooh
Oooh, oooh
Oooh, oooh
