I feel you trying
Though in my heart I know you're lying
And though your love for me is dying,
I see you crying
It's the pain of your secret heart
Bringing you to tears, filling you with fears
For your mind and for your soul.
I touch you softly now,
Born on by hope until the end, somehow.
I am a man and I must keep my vows,
I must go on.
But the wall of your secret heart
Keeps my distance clear,
Helps my footsteps fall
Back in line inside my mind.
What's the use? You turned me loose
And left me here to cry.
Where's the love we talked about?
Where's my sunny sky?
Secret hearts and sorry tales
Will never help love grow,
Spread your wings my daunted soul,
The time has come to go.
I will not be hurried down
Or blackened by you lies,
I must go and find my dreams
And live in paradise.
What's the use? You turned me loose
And left me here to cry.
Where's the love we talked about?
Where's my sunny sky?
Secret hearts and sorry tales
Will never help love grow.
Spread your wings my daunted soul,
The time has come to go.
I will not be hurried down
Or blackened by you lies.
I must go and find my dreams
And live in paradise.
What's the use? You turned me loose
And left me here to cry.
Where's the love we talked about?
Where's my sunny sky?
What do you think I am? Do you think I'm dreaming?
Don't you know I know what it is you're scheming?
Who did you think gave you the right,
Hidden by the dead of night,
To take the world and turn it upside down,
When it should be round?
It seems I made it just in time
To use my reason and my rhyme
To save us from the evils of your mind.
I will cast the spell, be sure I cast it well.
I will light a fire, kindled with desire.
I'll fill you with fear so you'll know I'm here
And I won't be treated like a fool.
It's no good you pretending there'll be no happy ending,
I'm alive and darkness is my tool.
But when the night is over
And daytime steals your cover,
The goodness of the morning sun
Will warm away what you have done
And leave you cold.
I have no need for moonlight,
You're wrong to trust in sunlight.
For I exist not just in storms,
But in life itself, in so many forms
To leave you cold.
I will leave you now, but you won't defeat me.
You had best beware when you come to meet me.
Love and truth will follow me,
An army of reality,
Brought from every corner of the world.
You will never break the spell.
I summon all the fires of hell
And this is my advice for what it's worth
Let us not begin, this fight we cannot win.
Be sure you're watching me;
'Cause all through your life,
Every day and every night
You should know that I'll be watching you....
