Queen Of Hearts

My Queen of Hearts And will I search forever for my kindred spirit? Two dancing ghosts that never can die To search in my dreams by oceans and by rivers Like two running streams that never can touch And the pupils in your eyes are not as big as they used to be Oh I never thought I could feel so alien to you so fast Why did you ever have to go? And all this would be true If I'd never met you Crystal blue (2) ...a man could die out here... (UK 1991) On rainy nights in Xanadu A new face new place A new sound The world today is a changing place Keep your door locked up and hide your face Drowning in a whirlpool of English pride In dark old England where the wheels of industry only just turn And at night the stars come out Walking through a strange town Deep in the heart of nowhere in the middle of somebody's somewhere I'd fly home, but where is home? I feel like an alien Be brave again England be my safe haven And at night if darkness should knock upon your door And the whole wide world wakes up screaming in the night That old problem child of the world today The Middle Eastern adolescent sulking its way Into the safety of the Angel Isle One day we'll wake if we wake up at all And the world and his wife will come crashing through the door (3) The Last Waltz (Glos - UK 1987) Hang up your dancing shoes, hide in that secret place Play that song of empty charm of empty time and space You're a tired ballerina in a musical box When the key unwinds you have to stop when the music stops So you can find your way, I'll leave a gaslight burning in the window Do you remember, do you recall, the smell of school dining halls and backstreet brawls? I was a twenty first century kid Casanova With a lover's patch and freestyle charm we went arm in arm I remember the autumn leaves I remember those times In cold October air kicking cans and buying time I recall our old town, the place I used to work The boy just trying to throw some magic down upon the world But you can't dance forever, the last waltz is over And most of all as I recall the final line upon her lips
