Portrait

There’s something just won’t leave me be
My jealousy

So deep it hides inside of me

This time it seems

My peace I’ll have to keep

I’ll shine my weary light

This sign my teary eyes have just seen

There’s something just won’t leave me be

No ecstasy

I feel so sure it’s leaving me

No more time for dreams

Tonight there’ll be no sleep

I’ll rest my weary mind

No sign of the presence of my queen

I know there’s something going on

Surprised? Not me

And I know this

I was there

I know there’s something going on

Surprised? Not me

And I know this

I was there

I used to say – your wishes paved the way

I’d wish my days away

But all our dreams – meet their end.

There’s something you won’t tell me dear

Words lost in the breeze

We’re lost so please don’t lie to me

I’m right it seems

So please just set me free

My life must take its flight

This life is certainly not for me

I used to say your wishes paved the way

I’d wish my days away

But all our dreams – meet their end

Yesterday your portrait saved the day

Soon it all turned grey

And all my dreams – have come to end
