Lyrics

[Verse 1] He stood naked outside the door Handsome with dark eyes flashing The winds blew straight in off the moor The sisters stopped their pacing Through the flickering firelight Shadows jumped across the floor Pounding hearts and rushing blood Romantic thoughts and fears [Chorus 1] Dora, Dora, looking in the mirror Dora, Dora, acting out in mother's clothes Dreaming, dreaming, no-one will ever know Dora, Dora [Verse 2] The autumn leaves are falling Through a dreary evening sky In St. John's Wood a woman waits Sitting on a leather sofa The psychiatrist smiles sadly As she uncrossed her legs The ticking of an antique clock Penetrates the gloom [Chorus 2] Dora, Dora, see the man is writing Writing down all the words you say We know, don't we, the truth is locked away Dora, Dora [Verse 3] In the pitch black dungeon Slaves touched up the black paint Upstairs the maid took details on the phone While the minister waited in the bathroom She's twenty seven with a lovely figure Experienced in these careful arts The purr of an expensive car In the alleyway outside [Chorus 1] Dora, Dora, looking in the mirror Dora, Dora, acting out in mother's clothes Dreaming, dreaming, no-one will ever know Dora, Dora
