|
He was a stranger to himself |
|
A spy in his own camp |
|
And his money was his health |
|
All thrown to the dust by his very own hand |
|
Yet his beauty lingered still |
|
Beyond the draining of the sand |
|
But greener was the other side of the hill |
|
Richer was the other man's land |
|
But we loved him, loved him just like brothers would |
|
We loved him, loved him like no others could |
|
And she loved him, loved him like a lover should |
|
Take good care of an aching heart |
|
You never can replace it |
|
You know you are the master of your heart |
|
You'll realise that when you think it fit |
|
Those orbs of blue are jading away |
|
No laughter from them dances |
|
Yet you're bound to remember this one day |
|
Hazards are risks and risks are chances |
|
You can run for cover, run for cover like a frightened hare |
|
Till it's all over, all over and there's no-one there |
|
'Cos you daren't discover, daren't discover that we really care |
