lyrics

Amber

(lyric by Val Marshall-George)

Like a fly trapped in amber my heart's set in stone
Inside it still beats but the feeling has gone
'Cos you went and left me to cry here alone
So, like a fly trapped in amber my heart's set in stone

Your warmth made me love you but I should have known
That someday you'd leave me in this world alone
You ensnared another to take over my throne
Now, like a fly trapped in amber my heart's set in stone

Fly to her arms like you want to do
Soon she'll tire of you and you'll be left blue

If ever you're sorry 'cos your new love has flown
And you miss the love that once we had known
Don't ever come back here to weep and to moan
'Cos like a fly trapped in Amber my heart's set in stone

Fly to her arms like you want to do
Soon she'll tire of you and you'll be left blue

If ever you're sorry 'cos your new love has flown
And you miss the love that once we had known
Don't ever come back here to weep and to moan
'Cos like a fly trapped in Amber my heart's set in stone

Don't ever come back here to weep and to moan
'Cos like a fly trapped in Amber my heart's set in stone
