Given and Denied
Which way to the fountain of my youth I wonderWhich way to the years I've let go byLet a thirsty man drink in its memories while the water still flows sweet and crystal clearFor yesteryear
Oh to see the sun's eclipseon the horizon like shipssailing way away from hereOh just one more time my dearBefore I'll go hear me outCos of this there ain't no doubtWhen it's time for curtain callJust before the shadows...
Fall like a leaf in the wind on the oceanOf blue like your eyes in the twilight theaterWith symphonies playing in the world without soundWe're given and denied
Give me back my innocence cos I wish to dream againLike I never outgrew my old playgroundWhere the sun sets slowly with a golden crown and the leaves sing lullabies 'round vacant swingsGive me those wings
Let me fly once againLike I did way back whenI would gamble and winTo lift me high above the dinOf the future we seeDoes it hold something for meI'm weightless againJust before the shadows...
Fall like a leaf in the wind...
Before I'll go hear me outCos of this there ain't no doubtWhen it's time for curtain callJust before the shadows...
Fall like a leaf in the wind...
