Geisha Girl

Written by Louise Goffin. 

In her eye you will find no suspicion 
Guess she don't know you 
She gives away everything 
She could ever hold on to 

I've seen her under the full moon 
Shining romance in your eye 
But she's only spellbound 
In a painted lullaby 

And I saw you 
You were dancing 
Maybe tonight your kiss will turn out to be true 
But you were dancing 
Dancing with the Geisha 
You were dancing with that girl 

Now and then you fell obligated 
To this wild rose 
But you're the one who makes her feel isolated 
And her silky sadness shows 

Last time I saw her 
She was under the half moon 
And she couldn't help but wonder 
Why some things fade too soon 

I saw you- you were dancing 
Maybe tonight your kiss will turn out to be true 
You were dancing 
Dancing with the Geisha 
You were dancing with that girl
