Lyrics

THE TEMPTRESS
Craig Moreau

Well here we are again, I’ve read this script before

But every now and then, You come knocking at my door

If your plans they don’t include me, Why even waste my time

Or did you come again to tempt me, Let me hold what isn’t mine

Chorus

We came so close the last time

But I couldn’t play your game

You had me longing for the temptress

And ignoring all the pain

There were lots of empty promises, And a pile of broken dreams

You even tried to tell me, You were all I really need

The words would come so easy, Then the music would appear

then the light would fade to darkness, and silence to my ears

Chorus

We came so close the last time

But I couldn’t play your game

You had me longing for the temptress

And ignoring all the pain

So should I enjoy your company, Or prepare for you to leave

Is this living in the moment, What believing in you means

After all that i have done for you, You left me singing in the street

Drunken from a memory, The wine is bittersweet

Chorus

We came so close the last time

But I couldn’t play your game

You had me longing for the temptress

And ignoring all the pain

Yes I’m longing for the temptress

And ignoring all the pain
