Leningrad

Fell in love with an autocrat
From the streets of Leningrad
Gave him everything I had
It wasn't much at all
Just wanted a pretty face
A damsel in disgrace
I come from a better place
And I don't have far to fall

Ooh

And in my hour of darkness I have often thought of you
Lie awake, toss and turn the whole night through
Ooh

Say goodnight to the open stage
Say goodnight to the empty page
In the dusk of the day and age
The light starts to fail
And when they ask for an autograph
I just had to laugh
At the unreliable fact
The undeniable tale

Ooh

And in my hour of darkness I have often thought of you
Lie awake, toss and turn the whole night through
Ooh
