Sleeping village Red sun rising in the sky, Sleepin’ village, cock’rel’s cry Soft breeze blowin’ in the trees Peace of mind, feel at ease Now the first day that i met ya I was looking in the sky, When the sun turned all a blur and the thunder clouds rolled by The sea began to shiver and the wind began to moan, It must of been a sign for me to leave you well alone I was born without you baby but my feelings were a little bit too strong You never said you love meand i don’t believe you can, ‘cos i saw you in a dream and you were with another man You looked so cool and casual and i tried to look the same, But now i’ve got to love ya, Tell me who am i to blame? I was born without you baby but my feelings were a little bit too strong Now the whole wide world is movin ”cos there’s iron in my heart, I just can’t keep from cryin’ ‘cos you say we’ve got to part Sorrow grips my voice as i stand here all alone And watch you slowly take away a love i’ve never known I was born without you baby but my feelings were a little bit too strong, Just a little bit to strong Now the whole wide world is movin”cos there’s iron in my heart, I just can’t keep from cryin’ ‘cos you say we’ve got to part Sorrow grips my voice as i stand here all alone And watch you slowly take away A love i’ve never known I was born without you baby but my feelings were a little bit too strong, Just a little bit to strong
