Behind the Lines - Face Value (1981) Pop, Art Rock /UK
I held the book so tightly in my hands I saw your picture, heard you call my name It was strange I could not look away I had to be there, I wanted to go You gave me no reason, you gave me no warning But I was with you, by your side Give me the strength, so I can help you And I can be strong now, they don't frighten me It's written in the book The sun is hotter than before, but inside it's cold, I wonder why But if the fire within your heart can beat the storm Well I believe we can make it right It's time now, to show our feelings Looking through you, your heart's empty Whatever happened to you, you can't change it No where to run to, please, oh please don't let me down But wait a minute I don't understand It's getting stronger, hold my hand Don't want to leave you I don't want to go But I'm a' losing all control Can't you see me I'm slipping away I can only stay if you've the will To keep me here, oh Lord It's written in the book I held the book so tightly in my hands I saw your picture, heard you call my name Oh and even though we never, never touched I keep waiting for you just the same
