The Pillow Lyrics by UB40

The Pillow Lyrics

    A smile for every passing car
    And when they stop with door ajar
    She shrugs and whispers que sera
    And turns her thoughts to the pillow
    Her face is etched with memories
    She finds now joy amid the sleaze
    It's hard when you've been paid to please
    So she turns her thoughts to the pillow

    Chorus

    Daylight comes she rests her head
    The beauty of an empty bed
    She dreams of happy days instead
    Of brooding on tomorrow

    She swapped her dreams of shining knights
    For pushers, bars and money fights
    For nameless faces in red light
    So she turns her head to the pillow
    Those black eyes don't hurt any more
    She's heard the jokes and jibes before
    She's felt the long arm of the law
    So she turns her head to the pillow

    Chorus

    Daylight comes ..... Etc

    Taking drugs was not for fun
    It made her feel like going on
    But now she hurts when its all gone
    And she turns her head to the pillow
    She take a blade and breaks her skin
    Sweet life force flows from within
    The white clouds in her head grow dim
    And she turns her head to the pillow

    Chorus

    Sunlight creeps across her head
    Pale beauty in a crimson bed
    No dreams of happy days ahead
    She'll have no more tomorrows
