Lyrics
CHERIE
V1.
HE'S SITTING IN HIS ROOM, AN OLD MAN STARING AT THE WALL. MUMBLING TO HIMSELF, HE CANNOT HEAR THE DOOR
REMANISCING ABOUT HIS WIFE CHERIE A WAY OF LIFE THAT USED TO BE, BRINGING BACK SWEET MEMORIES, WE WERE YOUNG AND FREE BEFORE THE WAR. MMM TALKING ABOUT THE WAR, OOHHH.
CHORUS
CHERIE BABY, OOHHH, CHERIE BABY, OOHHHHH
V2
I WAS A SIMPLE MAN, WORKING ON MY FATHERS LAND, SINCE THE START OF TIME. BROTHERS MAKING BREAD AND WINE, ENOUGH TO LIVE OUR LIVES, BETWEEN THE ISLES AND THE RHINE, IT ALL JUST TAKES ME BACK IN TIME, BEFORE THE WAR, MMM, TALKING ABOUT THE WAR, OOOHHH
CHORUS REPEAT.
BRIDGE.
YOU EVER BEEN IN LOVE? TALKING TO YOUR GOD ABOVE, ALL YOUR THINKING 'BOUT, YOUR THINKING ABOUT HER, OHHH. DREAMING ABOUT THAT TIME BUT IT'S TOO LATE TO EVER GO BACK, BUT I'D TRADE IT ALL FOR ONE MORE DAY WITH YOU CHERIE, OHHH CHERIE, OHHH, MY BABY, CHERIE, YEAH YEAH, OHHHH
V3.
GUNS ARE FIRING IN MY HEAD, THE DEVIL'S COME TO STEAL THE DEAD. WOMEN,CHILDREN, SCREAMS ARE HEARD, DAMNED THE HELPLESS CRIES ARE BLURRED.
CHORUS 2
BLINDING LIGHTS, I CAN'T SEE YOU ANYMORE. HIDE BEHIND THOSE TABLES, THEY'RE COMING THROUGH THE WALLS.
LET OUT YOUR TEARS, LET ME HOLD YOU IN MY ARMS. I'LL ROCK YOU LIKE A CRADLE, I WON'T LET YOU TAKE NO HARM.
TAIL.
OOHH PRETTY LADY, OOHHHH CHERIE BABY.
