De Burgh, Chris - Fatal Hesitation Lyrics






The cafe's are all deserted
The streets are wet again
There's nothing quite like
An out of season holiday town in the rain
When the tourists go
And the cold winds blow
And my girl is on a plane
Home

I'm never gonna love another
The way I have loved you
It's taken me a little time to discover
Now I know it's true
But fatal hesitation
Made me miss the show

Ooooooh, Romeo is standing in the rain
And I know that I have let her slip away
Fatal hesitation, fatal hesitation

I saw you again this morning
Walking down the beach
And though you are a thousand miles away
You were only just out of reach
When I got up close and I saw her face
I knew it couldn't be so
No, nooooooo

Ooooooh, Romeo is standing in the rain
And I know that I have let her slip away
Fatal hesitation, fatal hesitation

I'm gonna get on my boat and sail away

Ooooooh, Romeo is standing in the rain
And I know that I have let her slip away
Fatal hesitation, fatal hesitation

I'm gonna read a little Shakespeare
And get her outta my head
It doesn't matter anymore

Gonna miss her just a little bit
Just a little bit

    "Gonna read a little Shakespeare / to get her out of my head". The most British ending for a very British song.

    If Chris De Burgh was food, he would be the creamiest, cheesiest, deep dish pizza served at a table set with roses and wine in a castle by the coast.

  6. N.... S....

    I let you slip away Teresa

  7. J.... S....

    its a fatal hesitation

    This song is like a punch in the stomach. It is so sad, but so beautiful. My favourite part is "I know that I have let her slip away" the music there is perfect and the words are so... Real.

  43. N.... p....

    Los cafés están todos desiertos,
     las calles están húmedas otra vez,
     no hay nada como
     un final de vacaciones en la lluvia
     cuando los turistas se van y el viento frío sopla,
     y mi chica está en un vuelo a casa
     Nunca voy a amar a otra,
     del modo que te amé a ti
     me llevó poco tiempo descubrirlo
     ahora sé que es la verdad, pero una vacilación fatal
     me hizo perder demostrártelo Oh, Romeo está parado en la lluvia
     y sé que la he dejado escapar
     indecisión fatal, vacilación fatal. Te vi esta mañana de nuevo
     caminando hacia la playa,
     a pesar que estás a mil millas de distancia
     estabas fuera de alcance,
     pero cuando me levanté,
     y vi su rostro
     me di cuenta que no podía ser así, no, no Oh, Romeo está parado en la lluvia
     y sí lo sé que la he dejado escapar
     vacilación fatal, vacilación fatal.
     Me iré a mi barco y navegaré Oh, Romeo está parado en la lluvia
     y si lo sé que la he dejado escapar
     vacilación fatal, vacilación fatal.
     vacilación fatal,
     vacilación fatal,
     vacilación fatal... Leeré un poco de Shakespeare.
     y la sacaré de mi mente,
     no más problemas,
     la extrañaré un poco,
     sólo un poco...Daniel Ramon Cardozo...

  45. M.... P....

    I'm never going to love another, 
    the way that I have loved you,...

    M.... P....

    I can't stop listening to this song but it has failed to download

  46. K.... D....

    bullshit this guy jus does not  make sense in this song,(could some1 explain what he is saying when he says thers nothing like an out of season holiday and why does the old man say fatal hesitation)whats the message is he delivering to people with  his song

    K.... D....

    +Kitso Dormen Mokwatso A holiday town is where tourists generally only come during summer, so an out of season holiday town is simply one when the tourist season is over. Fatal hesitation refers to the girl he has lost because he hesitated to tell her how he feels. The message I take personally is that you should never be afraid to say how you feel and if you love someone you should let them know before it is too late.

    K.... D....

    Kitso Dormen Mokwatso still love this song especially the melody

  47. S.... A....

    the lyrics is true for everyone.... I am quite sure of that....

    S.... A....

    @Syed Ahmed Faruque whats true about the the chris lyrics...

    S.... A....

  48. T.... S....

  49. D.... ....

  50. A.... a....

    can't stopping hearing this beautiful song
    need help
    please

    A.... a....

    How are you doing?
    Hello from a fellow human.

  51. P.... R....

    THANK GOD (and u of course) 4 finding this song.

  52. P.... ....

    Bought the album for The Lady in Red.  Liked this song better. Actually one of the few cd's I ever bought that I liked all the songs.

    P.... ....

    I did exactly the same thing, PlasmaStar9. But this is one of the best albums in my collection. And I've got some great ones. A lot of underrated/unrecognised songs on this album. Bought it when it first came out and still listen to it regularly

  53. B.... L....

    the late Benjamin Lo-Fi purchased this, and would sit in deserted cafes in tribute to its ethos...eating an éclair, reading Twelfth Night...

  54. k.... ....

    You don't hear the saxophone much in songs these days ... yet it was a staple in the '80s. It will probably make a return sooner or later.

    k.... ....

    I hope you're right!

  55. b.... ....

    Chris is Awesome!!!!
