Lyrics

Daphne

Daphne

Don't be ridiculous

This silence is killing us

Talk to me

Speaking with a loving tongue

Give life a sense of fun

Daphne

Don't be so cavalier

All that you want is here

Talk to me

Speak with your pretty eyes

Not without compromise

If you're used to a life of farces

Playing games of judge and jury

You know when you're wearing those glasses

You look like Nana Mouskouri

Daphne

Laugh and take silly time

Leave sadness way behind

Talk to me

Tell jokes and belly laugh

Don't cut your life in half

Daphne

Shelley wrote verse for you

He would have wanted to

Talk to me

Saying I must be thick

Love is a lunatic

If you're used to a life of farces

Playing games of judge and jury

You know when you're wearing those glasses

You look like Nana Mouskouri

So you can be adjourned

Daphne I'm so concerned

Daphne

Don't be ridiculous

This silence is killing us

Talk to me
