Convent girls Letra

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.
