She was a little bit older, I was a little bit shy
But I knew how to kiss the lips at night
Whisky breath and cigarettes
The spell of perfume, and that's as good as it gets
She taught me how to dance in Spanish town
She got a kid watching me spinning round and round
The stars shone bright, and the moon hung low
Willy DeVille was singing on the radio
Well, it's a sad song night
Wiht the long ago girl running through my mind
It's a sad song night
And nothing stops time like a sad song night
Sad song night
She came in the room, white flowers in her hair
She lit the way with a 100 candles up the stairs
We made love in a chinese lantern room
and a bitch it had to end so soon
Well, it's a sad song night
Well, the long-ago girl wanna do my mind
It's a sad song night
And nothing stops time like a sad song
Well, it's a sad song night
Well, the long ago girl wanna do my mind
Another sad song night
And nothing stops time like a sad song night
Well, I never went back to Spanish town
Hung up my dancing shoes,
and the world kept spinning round
and round
I think of her, when they play that song
Sometimes I even sing along
Well, it's a sad song night
Well, the long ago girl wanna do my mind
It's a sad song night
And nothing stops time like a sad song
Well, it's a sad song night
Well, the long ago girl wanna do my mind
Another sad song night
And nothing stops time like a sad song
Well, it's a sad song night
Well, the long ago girl wanna do my mind
It's a sad song night
And nothing stops time like a sad song
