Gary DeMichele - Shangri-La (Acoustic) Lyrics

Do you remember how it went
The song we wrote, the time we spent
Did it get so loud you had to cover up your ears
And like critics with their pens
Your silly thoughts that would not end
Laid a welcome mat for all those doubts and fears
And that was the end of Shangri-La
A fait accompli madame n'est-ce pas?
All our hopes and dreams blew out
That window you unlocked
I think I saw them running down the block
And so they forced their way inside
And our hopes and dreams, they could not hide
'Cause doubts and fears got such an awesome sense of smell
And then it really wasn't long
Before we heard that other song
The one we never liked but learned to sing so well
And that was the end of Shangri-La
A fait accompli madame n'est-ce pas?
All our hopes and dreams blew out
That window you unlocked
I think I saw them running down the block
They used our telly and our phone
Ate us out of house and home
I've never felt like such a helpless little man
But darling all those doubts and fears
They're the reason for your tears
And we don't need another witness on the stand
So now that they're gone
Our hopes and dreams, our favorite song
With the house in such an awful disarray
A window opened to the breeze
The cold wind blows in from the trees
How'd it feel as you watched them drift away
And that was the end of Shangri-La
A fait accompli madame n'est-ce pas?
All our hopes and dreams blew out
That window you unlocked
I think I saw them running down the block
I think I saw them running down the block
