Sir Peer

Sir Piero wakes each morning at daybreak
And peeks outside his window at tomorrow
The city sleeps so sound
Old dreams forgotten, new ones found
Oh-oh-oh, mmm
And he dreams about those starry nights in Frisco
When long haired girls made love with their eyes
And smiles at his forgotten years
How soon they fade away, yeah, yeah
They fade away

I wonder why
(In the shadows of your past)
Oh, tell me why
(Was there a flame that would not last?)
Tell me why
(Nobody goes to yesterday's shows)

Sir Piero's made a life in New York City
And lost himself unto his own self-pity
When he looked inside his mind
Why did he fear what he would find?
Oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh

Tell me why
(In the shadows of your past)
Oh, tell me why
(Was there a flame that would not last?)
Tell me why
(Nobody goes to yesterday's shows anymore)

Now he finds himself alive again in Chelsea
The portraits of his youth hang by his side
From the ashes of his past
He rose to find himself at last
Ooh-ooh-ooh, so can you

But tell me why
(In the shadows of your past)
Oh, tell me why
(Was there a flame that would not last?)
Tell me why
(In the shadows of your past)
Tell me why
(Was there a flame that would not last?)

Oh, I gotta know
(In the shadows of your past)
Oh, tell me why
Somebody tell me why
Oh, I gotta know
