bitter young widow, mourner of dead; black's not your colour, despite what is said. and all of our friends may sure raise an eye, but might i enquire, or ask you tonight? go swiftly, go softly; into the room; and there in your arms i surely will swoon. lie ourselves gently down onto the bed, and be a distraction for what's in your head. heartache, leaves us so sore; we'll make love on the floor; i'll be the one to make sure you won't freeze, and you can re-learn how to breathe. model young mother, sitting at home; holding the baby that you'll raise alone. look in his eyes, you see but his dad; and think of the children that you'll never have. he wore them so proudly, those medals of war; and never quite told you what they were for. but he kissed you, and held you, and went on his way; and promised to love you 'till his dying day. heartache leaves us so sore; we'll make love on the floor. i'll be the one to make sure you won't freeze; and you can relearn how to breathe. don't you pretend to be dead; just because somebody took him instead. i can hold you tonight; and we can make something of this goodbye. heartache leaves us so sore; we'll make love on the floor.

true as they lie, there all together; the dreamers of night, asleep on the heather. whether you're called; stay, stay after. the dreamers that fall will be caught in the rafters. because it's better to know if there's life for the taking. but you're better alone if your heart, it is breaking. then you should realise that they la-lie; the world is uncertain, so let's all say good night. whether it rains, or whether it pours; whether the day is in your eyes; sleep is to dream, and you're never alone; caught in the gaze of your mind. oh, hold me aloft where there's sun for the taking; a victim of god, that is life in the making. i'll sit and wait there for the moonlight to arrive; i know it's not perfect, but this way i survive. whether it rains, or whether it pours; whether the day is in your eyes; sleep is to dream, and you're never alone; caught in the gaze of your mind. oh sleep is the pace for reflection of pace; if you give it away, you will never replace the hole in your heart; or the beauty of mind - it's a terrible start to a world so defined by decision and action; cause and reaction; and sleep - oh you're mearly away in your mind; oh you're mearly away in your mind; oh you're mearly away in your mind; you are mearly away in your mind! oh sleep is the place for reflection of pace; if you give it away... there's a hole in your heart; and a beauty of mind... there's decision and action; cause and reaciton; and sleep. oh you're mearly away in your mind; oh you're mearly away in your mind; oh you're mearly away in your mind; you are mearly away in your mind.

don't settle for love; it's a gift from the gods above! that leaves your head behind; and frees your heart to rule over your scared mind. don't, don't turn me over; don't drag me under; don't kiss me under sheets, and the safety of the covers; then wander the streets looking for another; all the while promising me that'll be your only lover. don't settle for hate; it's a thing that can't create. it takes from your soul; and leaves a gaping hole. so don't lose it all, for a part of something small. stay upon your feet; and chase the things that teach your heart to beat! don't, don't turn me over; don't drag me under; don't kiss me under sheets, and the safety of the covers; then wander the streets looking for another; all the while promising me that i'll be your only lover. when time remains, you'd better leave it far behind. and all this, it says you'd better say what's on your mind! then you'll have it then - a little soul to define. and all this, i know, it makes you run, makes you hide; makes you keep it inside; when you should say hello to love! don't, don't turn me over; don't drag me under; don't kiss me under sheets, and the safety of the covers; then wander the streets looking for another; all the while promising me that i'll be your only lover. yes i've got a heart; and i keep it inside. yes i've got a light; and it likes to shine. and i'll shine it for you; if you would only ask. it'll shine up the room; and chase away the dark.
