There's a silent movie
|
Running off its reel inside my mind
|
As I try to fall asleep tonight
|
On prescription lullabyes
|
In the darkness there's a doorway
|
That leads me back to you forever
|
But these days there's only
|
You and I in photographs
|
Ambitions and dreams we've shared
|
Now I wonder who has got the last laugh
|
Cause I know you're crying
|
And you know I'm cold inside
|
Got no expectations for my pride
|
And I reach for that glittering prize
|
I remember on our wedding day
|
Looking back at you
|
Our eyes met and we said goodbye
|
As we both said "I do"
|
Didn't I make a promise baby
|
I would stand by you forever
|
But sometimes the best-laid plans
|
Flare up and blow away
|
And fairytale logic comes
|
Sweeps you heart
|
Your soul'Your world away
|
Cause I know you're crying
|
And you know I'm cold inside
|
And I'm tired of living with that lie
|
And now time is flying
|
And you know I miss that fire
|
But I feel for you
|
I've got desire
|
So I reach for that glittering prize
|
No doll's house dreams
|
Or valentines
|
Just the future at the door
|
Just leaving trains and empty rooms
|
A broken band of gold
|
Cause love don't live here anymore
|
And some nights I'll come and see you
|
And I know you'll let me in
|
Two strangers in silence now
|
Cause you know in love
|
We could never win
|
I know you're crying
|
And you know I'm cold inside
|
And I'm tired of living with this lie
|
These days
|
Cause now time is flying
|
And you know I miss that fire
|
Cause I feel for you
|
I've got desire
|
Baby baby
|
In my world (in your world tonight)
|
Reach for that glittering prize (in my world)
|
That's all I ever seemed to do (in your world tonight)
|
Was reach for the glittering prize (in my world)
|
I lost myself when I lost you (in your world tonight)
|
As I reached for that glittering prize (in my world)
|
And I hope that all your dreams come true (in your world tonight)
|
When you reach for that glittering prize (in my world)
|
In your world
|
In my world tonight
|
