Tekst piosenki
By the shade of your magnolia I go down for release And the seven ships of Providence Will be falling, flowing near And the convent girls in their frilly white tights Will be chorus girls with their names up in lights And the bridal veils will be shimmering white Will be shimmering white Where once we talked in confidence We now shall walk in fear, And the bridal ships of providence, Are slowing drawing near. And the convent girls in their frilly white tights And the chorus girls with their names up in lights And the bridal veils will be shimmering white Will be shimmering white Who'll find the doctor, When you go to sleep, When you go to sleep? By the prayers of emotion, We will want to weep, We will want to weep. And you dance with your friends -- Anyone I know? And you dance with your friends -- Anyone I know I will go like her, Be on your feet, And the years are stretching on. Where once we talked of openness But now we're moving on And the convent girls in their frilly white tights Will be chorus girls with their names up in lights And the bridal veils will be shimmering white Will be shimmering white No more sleep 'til I'm an adult, There's no more sleep 'til I've grown up. There's no more sleep 'til I'm an adult, I'll lift up my head And drink my cup with you.
