Kaleidescopin' - Tom Verlaine

I guess I got romantic notions,

I need a love, a love like the ocean,

You look so sweet, you seem so fine,

Naturally, I wish you were mine.

She says «I don’t know why you’re wishing and hoping,

When you could be kaleidescopin'

No, I don’t know why you’re wishing and hoping,

When you could be kaleidescopin'

No, I don’t know why.»

Consider the lilies of the field, and how they grow,

I’m just like that, but I’m more slow,

I need a love that’s tender and true,

I need a love, someone like you.

She says «I don’t know why you’re wishing and hoping,

When you could be kaleidescopin'

No, I don’t know why you’re wishing and hoping,

When you could be kaleidescopin'

No, I don’t know why,

I don’t know why.»

I wish I had another life,

To show you how I feel,

I’m hoping that my luck is good,

I know my love is real.

Kaleidescopin'…

Kaleidescopin'…

I guess I got romantic notions,

I need a love, a love like the ocean,

You look so sweet, you seem so fine,

Naturally, I wish you were mine.

She says «I don’t know why you’re wishing and hoping,

When you could be kaleidescopin'

No, I don’t know why you’re wishing and hoping,

When you could be kaleidescopin'
