He swears he'll love you by candlelight
|
And for a while things seem all right
|
And for a moment he hides
|
the devil that lies inside
|
|
And then one night in a fit of rage
|
The demon raises his hand in hate
|
And brings it down on you
|
There is nothing you can do
|
|
And then one night in a twist of fate
|
The angels bring your face to me
|
I cannot erase the memories
|
Of you lying there looking up at me
|
|
Chorus
|
Please take the demon from my head
|
Won't you please erase the memories
|
And ghosts who haunt my bed
|
I just want you to understand
|
That I'm gonna be the only man
|
To ever touch your soul
|
And I ain't never letting go
|
|
There's a room that lies down the hall
|
Where you sit and write you poems
|
of love and mystery
|
of faith and fantasy
|
|
And you keep a secret lover there
|
And a book beside an easy chair
|
That you read before you go to bed
|
To hide the memories in your head
|
|
And now I try to understand the pain
|
You struggle for the words to say
|
It don't come out right
|
As you lay your body down
|
|
Chorus
|
|
There's a place where you go
|
I've been, I'll never know
|
The pain you keep inside
|
The secrets that you hide
|
|
But I try to understand your pain
|
And be a shelter from the falling rain
|
Just maybe I feel what you're going through
|
Maybe I have been there too
|
|
Please take the demons from my head
|
Won't you please take the demons from my head
|
(I shall try)
|
repeat
|
