Manilla Vanilla Songtext

von My First Band

A barren tree by an old abandoned village
Still blooms with little, rusty hearts
Every heart locks a story to the ground
Wishful lovers search for shooting stars

We travel here to contemplate your fate,
A tale that's been told so many times.
We add another chapter of our own
Written in honor, in honor of your love

Manilla Vanilla,
You lost your life
You built your love as if sand were stone

Manilla Vanilla,
You gave yourself
In honor of you I make my vow

You took every chance and every moment
And you treasured your secret deep within
No matter what you'd have done, what you'd have said,
Your roles were written long before you met

And there are locks that never find a key
You can't escape your destiny
The air still shudders with your sweet scent,
By manilla rope, you met your end

Manilla Vanilla
Because of love, in a bone white tree
Your name still grows
