lyrics

I reply to your smile
I was lost for a while
Like a child in the night
Afraid of that light
I’m trying hard to fight
To keep you from leaving

And I tried to walk on by but I had to leave you
You were longing for something; I got nothing to teach you
Except my memories of flesh against the scorn
And now the clouds roll on and on and our kissing makes me heading for a fall

There’s hazard up there
And it just isn’t fair
Like the folks from the hills
(Denied for their skills)
I’m trying hard to chill
But your face - it remains

And I try to walk on by but I had to reach you
You were longing for something; I got nothing to teach you
Except my memories of flesh against the scorn
And now the clouds roll on and on and our kissing makes me heading for a fall

And I try to walk on by but I had to reach you
You were longing for something; I got nothing
Except my memories of flesh against the scorn
And now the clouds roll on and on and our kissing makes me heading for a fall
