It´s a cold, cold September night
May be hundred days ago
Lonely road and a mystic light
Like a dream - I don´t know
An old house in the rain of England
And I knocked on the door
A young girl said: 'I waited for you'
Candles burned on the floor
Lara Layne - you´re my sweet illusion
When the night comes I´m calling your name
Your smile´s so sweet - I´m drowning in confusion
I´ll never forget Lara Layne
Fading roses - she´s dressed in white
I heard the midnight rain
Just a tea in the candlelight
Her name was Lara Layne
On the next day an old man told me:
'She died in sixty-nine'
He did not believe my story
It´s a mystery of time
And whatever may be
Time will come - time will show
Was it just an illusion, tell me
Lara where did you go
May be hundred days ago
Lonely road and a mystic light
Like a dream - I don´t know
An old house in the rain of England
And I knocked on the door
A young girl said: 'I waited for you'
Candles burned on the floor
Lara Layne - you´re my sweet illusion
When the night comes I´m calling your name
Your smile´s so sweet - I´m drowning in confusion
I´ll never forget Lara Layne
Fading roses - she´s dressed in white
I heard the midnight rain
Just a tea in the candlelight
Her name was Lara Layne
On the next day an old man told me:
'She died in sixty-nine'
He did not believe my story
It´s a mystery of time
And whatever may be
Time will come - time will show
Was it just an illusion, tell me
Lara where did you go
