You, oh you descend on me
And you, what could compare to thee
A trick of the light
A fingerprint turning round the time
And you tried to take the best of me
and you tried to take everything
But the great mistake was mine
And the great mistake was mine
And the great mistake was mine
You, oh you left quite a mess
And you, forget your loneliness
'Cause the great mistake was mine
And the great mistake was mine
And the great mistake was mine
And you, what could compare to thee
A trick of the light
A fingerprint turning round the time
And you tried to take the best of me
and you tried to take everything
But the great mistake was mine
And the great mistake was mine
And the great mistake was mine
You, oh you left quite a mess
And you, forget your loneliness
'Cause the great mistake was mine
And the great mistake was mine
And the great mistake was mine
