Nobody ever told me what to watch for I never was the one to play the game You gave me all I thought I ever wanted Now you want repayment a thousand times over Your illusion never really meant much Now you’re taking everything I have Shackles and chains attached to my heart protecting your interests You don’t want my love you want my soul Shackles and chains attached to my heart protecting your interests You don’t want my love you want my soul You don’t want my love you want my soul You don’t want my love you want my soul

Out 03:48
It’s warm in here It’s dark in here It’s quiet in here I like it in here Secure in here Content in here I like it in here I like it in here I wanna stay in here forever Out It’s warm in here It’s dark in here It’s quiet in here I like it in here I wanna stay in here forever Out Just one of those things A passionless lover An awkward moment Trapped in time A positive test A late decision A back street doctor Hard cold wire Out

Down 03:09
See my lying amongst the ruins of shattered dreams that haunt me The shards of daylight that pierce my corner of the room accuse me Falling - again, Falling… down You stand before me, anger tries to hide the pain that tears you And here I cower from your tears and promises I made you Falling - again, Falling… down

Tomorrow 04:02
Leave me alone I don’t want to know Leave me alone Let me go Cos I’m leaving Tomorrow You’re always trying to tame me But you know it won’t work It’s no use trying to hold me It’s not gonna work Leave me alone I don’t want to know Leave me alone Let me go Cos I’m leaving Tomorrow You’re always trying to change me But nobody can You’re always so possessive But I’m my own man Leave me alone I don’t want to know Leave me alone Let me go Cos I’m leaving Tomorrow Tomorrow

These last few moments are ours forever One final kiss and I must go Such pain and torment must be prevented No hope is in vain if we but try A new world today Out of the darkness and away Though seas may part us, in dreams we will touch Now and forever The quietest movement - A tear for parting Lays bare the anguish of love denied Enshrined in memory, such warmth and beauty Will guide me onwards through all travails A new world today Out of the darkness and away Though seas may part us, in dreams we will touch Now and forever These last fond moments are ours forever One final kiss must mean goodbye A new world today Out of the darkness and away Though seas may part us, in dreams we will touch Now and forever A new world today Out of the darkness and away Though seas may part us, in dreams we will touch I’ll love you always

All that white hair A gentleman's honor And a long white beard Burns up with fever And this is artificial moonlight An artificial sky Horses in the air Feet on the ground Never seen this picture before And this is artificial moonlight An artificial sky Horses in the air "Whose baby is this?" Never seen this picture before Horses in the air Feet on the ground Never seen, never seen this picture before Horses in the air Feet on the ground Never seen this picture before Never seen this picture before Never seen, never seen this picture before Never seen, never seen this picture before

The phone rings and she tells me that she’s leaving I’ve had this conversation all before Tonight, somehow her tears have me believing I won’t see her any more I never really thought that she’d be leaving I never really thought that it would end this way But if its true that loves believing We’ll be better off to end it all this way The morning calls I wake up no more dreaming No need to see, I know I’m on my own An empty bed, no laughing no more scheming I won’t see her any more I never really thought that she’d be leaving I never really thought that it would end this way But if it’s true that loves believing We’ll be better off to end it all this way We’ll be better off to end it all this way We’ll be better off to end it all this way

So now it’s goodbye, I feel a bit lost and you feel lonely That’s no reason to cry, When dreams fall apart we fall down with them It’s been quite a while since we went our own way, so can you tell me Tell me what’s the point in you coming back here to haunt me Breathing down my back, The white fence, the third door on the right There’s no place to go, she said, “Can you put me up here for the night” You’ve no reason or rhyme, Please don’t tell me what could have been Don’t ask to stay, Not while there’s still time to catch the train home Please don’t kiss, Please don’t kiss Keep my old clothes and cards, The trinkets on your mantelpiece to gather dust In some forgotten field you rust and fall apart like an old tractor Love’s not black and white, I’m not going back, back where we began Our old room’s a shrine, Frozen and locked, will give you comfort Please don’t kiss, Please don’t kiss So now it’s goodbye, I feel a bit lost and you feel lonely That’s no reason to cry, When dreams fall apart we fall down with them It’s been quite a while since we went our own way, so can you tell me Tell me what’s the point in you coming back here to haunt me Please don’t kiss, Please don’t kiss

Here I stand acting like a silly clown would I don't know why Would anybody like to try The changes I'm going through? A hidden lie would fortify Something that don't exist But it ain't so bad, I'm just a lad So many more things to do I intend to come right through them all with you My songs are merely dreams visiting my mind We talk a while by a crooked stile You're lucky to catch a few There's no magic wand in a perfumed hand It's a pleasure to be true In my crystal halls a feather falls Being beautiful just for you But that might not be quite true, that's up to you Dawn crept in unseen to find me still awake A strange young girl sang her songs for me And left 'fore the day was born That dark princess with saddening jest She lowered her eyes of woe And I felt her sigh, I wouldn't like to try The changes she's going through But I hope love comes right through them all with you
