Michael Franks - Cinema letra (lyrics)

Was once a lady so broken hearted and undone
She nearly lost her faith she'd ever
Meet her mate one day

Though love was nearby
In fact about to make it's entrance
Later in the script but in the meantime

Behind her smile lived a loneliness
No Leonardo could hide
When hearts collide can they ever repair
Love never lasted offscreen
How could she fly without wings
Losing each new leading man
To those unhappy endings
Behind her tears ebbed an emptiness
Vast as an ocean, as blue
But no one knew of the weather within

Cinema aimed at the heart
None of the love scenes were real
Simply rehearsing a part
She'd forgotten how to feel

Enter the one that the author
Created especially for her the focus blurs
The composer writes strings

Cinema straight from the heart
Shot on location within
We see the past fade to black
We see happiness begin
