Adonis Lyrics

Angeli Adonis

I met Adonis just recently
On a starry night, we walked by the sea
Right out of a book of Greek gods and myths
In the guise of a man here against his will
I said now (she said)
Heavenly creature, can you feel
Pain and emotions, are you for real
A goddess or angel I might not seem
But I can love you more than any human will (Yeah, right)
He took me then in his arms
And I melted like ice in the sun
Palm trees were swaying and the wind sang a crazy love song
Then he pulled away from me, I was speechless as a fool could be
And I realised that I was only human indeed
(She couldn't help it!)
Don't imagine me a silly Earth fool
I'm tongue-tied and nervous, I appear unschooled
Cos my hormones are churning, they're drowning out my head
Many a thing would have been better unsaid
He took me then in his arms
And I melted like ice in the sun
Palm trees were swaying and the wind sang a crazy love song
He's afraid of loving me, and he thinks I'm not quite his size
Maybe some cruel goddess left him alone in the night (in the night)
In the night (that's right)
My Adonis has flown away
He didn't even give me the night of a day
The sun is gone and I see no more stars
All I see is the planet Mars
He took me then in his arms
And I melted like ice in the sun
Palm trees were swaying and the wind sang a crazy love song
He's afraid of loving me, and he thinks I'm not quite his size
Maybe some cruel goddess left him alone in the night (in the night)
In the night now
I hear it raining outside my door
I wonder if he'll be back once more
Right out of a book of Greek gods and myths
In the guise of a man here against his will
