Veronica
Veronica, Veronica
Where did you leave your shawl?
Your lover is looking for it, can you hear his call?
Your lover has gone missing
He won’t be coming back
When the day breaks

Veronica, Veronica
Seek shelter from the sun
Your friend has gone and left you
But was he the one?
There are so many others
You’ll find someone, you’ll see
When the day breaks

Veronica, Veronica
Your favorite piece of lace
Was stolen by somebody
Who thinks of you some days
You might not remember - but he remembers you
When the day breaks

But do you find, Veronica, the morning to be grey?
And do you ever wish that you had let him stay?
Run over to the phone now
And give your friend a call
When the day breaks
Veronica, Veronica
Let your long hair fall
And face him when you tell him
That he can have it all
And fall asleep into his arms
To wake up happy when
The day breaks
