lyrics: J. Morse © 1985 Movement One She never seems quite able to keep a good thing going She's always had her problems, and they seem to keep on growing She's ever been too critical of all the thing's she's done She can't seem to realize all the times when she's won. . . He's never been quite honest with himself about what he can do He always seems so desperate, hurting through and through He changes moods like a chameleon, from glad to sad and back Someday he'll find himself on the right track. . . I know that once in a while, I get things going my way And sometimes if I'm lucky, I even get a say In what happens to my world, but more often than not I lose the things that in my heart, I know I haven't got I know I've got it easy, it comes my way so smooth But I can't keep it in my head that I can always make my move I've never done my share of the work, I let everyone come to me Someday I'll see that I can have anything I want, if I can just be me Strange dreams in lonely nights, crystal nights Divided by thunder, and dark, lonely miles Your thoughts still combine with mine I feel you here, so far yet near, I fear I won't ever feel your touch, or the warmth of your smiles Or see the light in your eyes that shine Movement Two I can't stand still for the passage of time Too much has happened, I have to move on 'Love is a myth' is what I learned to think And it proved itself in everything I saw There is no reason to anything I do There is a treason everytime I look at you And the memories slide deeper when I'm with the only one Who can carry me up the mountain I just can't overcome I know the rules of the game of life But there are exceptions to every law 'Love conquers all' is what I was always told And it proved itself in nothing that I saw There is a reason to everything I do There is a season when love is nothing new And the moments are deeper when I'm with the only one Whose mountain is steeper than the one I've overcome Let me carry you across this final frontier Let me help you abandon the heartbreak and fear I can't stand to see you so desperate and afraid Can you hold me in the cold dark of night Can you lift me up, and set me to flight I'm trying to reach the sun, with my hopes mislaid Movement Three (instrumental) Movement Four Pain ebbs and flows in my heart I'm close to losing all I had My tears are burning me alive Why do I feel so sad? For once, I know what to do I'm trying so hard to reach out But the past is swallowing me whole I'm trapped in a morass of doubt Please, let me in, and stay awhile Please, let me see one final smile Then maybe yet another, or three or four Please, don't leave me on the other side of the door Movement Five Now that the time has come I have to make him speak For once it's me that's in control For once it's him that's weak Now that the time has come To say what's on my mind My nerves are finally shattering The words, too hard to find Please, say you're with me till the end Please, say you need me as a friend And more, but no more than we can give Please, oh, please tell me that we can live. . . |
