Talking loud
sheÔÇÖs talking clear
But no one really wants to hear
no one really wants to know
and her loneliness still grows
was it shame or was it fear
when his devious face appeared
and the wall between them grows
the wall between them grows
tonightvelvet nights
he met her on the schoolyard
funny man behind the fence
started with a real deception
he didnÔÇÖt try mine
whose failures
who wants more
a tall man offering sweets
no one wants to think about it
and evil shows its seeds
he tries to hold her in his arms
he always tries to keep her warm
blew a girl grown up too fast
lost her innocence itÔÇÖs lost
cruel event shelled in her heart
breaks dependence is a part
and now heÔÇÖs bagging on his knees
lay her guilty hands on me
and the wall between them grows
the wall between them grows
tonightvelvet nights
I should be so lucky
but I canÔÇÖt help feeling blue
I felt no real attention
and satisfied by youth
You grew up
a lonely child
without a human shape
made the greatest sacrifice
realized it much too latetonight
too late
