When she was just a girl,

She expected the world,

So she ran away in her sleep.

Para-para-paradise,

Every time she closed her eyes.

It gets so heavy,

The wheel breaks the butterfly.

Every tear, a waterfall.

In the night, the stormy night,

She closed her eyes.

In the night, the stormy night,

Away she flied.

She said oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.
