Le Flambeau Dans l'Oreille (22): Robert & Mary, over 30+ of (still blooming) major love

He's got a girlfriend called Mary. "She's fab. My best friend. She's got black hair and very striking looks. When I'm with her I just sit back and watch -- I don't have to perform any more." (Smash Hits, May 24-June 6, 1984).

Interviewer:
"If you could go back and repeat something you have done in the past, what would it be?"
Robert Smith:
"My first dance with Mary."

La véritable Mary Poole apparaît dans le clip de Just Like Heaven, 1987, dansant avec Robert Smith.

— "My wife Mary. I love her, I adore her. I met her when I was 14 and we took a long time in coming together, giving us that chance, she’s my Cindy Crawford." (Robert Smith, 2010/10/09). Robert Smith rencontre Mary Poole à l'âge de 14, en 1973. Ils ne se quitteront plus jamais. Ils se marient en 1988.

"Show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream" she said
"The one that makes me laugh" she said
And threw her arms around my neck
"Show me how you do it
And I promise you I promise that
I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you"

Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed her face and kissed her head
And dreamed of all the different ways I had
To make her glow
"Why are you so far away?" she said
"Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you
That I'm in love with you"

You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream

Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of me

You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Just like heaven

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am home again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am whole again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am young again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am fun again

However far away I will always love you
However long I stay I will always love you
Whatever words I say I will always love you
I will always love you

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am free again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am clean again

However far away I will always love you
However long I stay I will always love you
Whatever words I say I will always love you
I will always love you
