Lyrics

Great Expectations

[Verse 1] A summer day In garlands, I feel secure A useless faith That I will get you, somehow Reach out, I wonder where you are now [Verse 2] Hey, there's you With placid eyes, oblivious to what's to come They locked you up So I forgot you, forgot your name So strange, I wonder if you got out
