[Verse 1]
Sometimes, I feel like you're reading my mind
And it scares me to death
But it’s like you broke into my dreams in the night
And I wake up with nothin' left
But a vague recollection of you
Pirate in blue
Sailing away with my heart in your hand
[Verse 2]
Days may go by and if I really try
I can almost forget your face
The next thing I know
That old west wind will blow
And I'm staring into space
Rememberin’ that look in your eyes
How you cut me down to size
Stealing my name
Daring me to look away
[Chorus]
Laura, you'll never be mine
Though I look to the moon and the stars for a sign
You belong to another, the truth is unkind
Laura, Laura, you'll never be mine
[Bridge]
And a vague recollection of you
A pirate in blue
Sailing away with my heart in your hand
[Chorus]
Laura, you'll never be mine
Though I look to the moon and the stars for a sign
You belong to another, the truth is unkind
Laura, Laura, you'll never be mine
Laura was written by David Starr & John Oates.
