Plan B

come into my castle
if your candle's shining bright
blinds upon my windows will come up to greet the light
free your heart and let it shine
lead me on to you
but there's a place inside my soul
you'll never get close to

stay away from my temple stay away
I want to have it be the same
if you choose to walk away
I'd rather see my tomorrow
clearly as I see today
stay away

you're my lady queen my angel child
as pure as a child can be
explore the places in my world
touch everything you see
but never try to find the key
to the hidden door
behind the wall you'll never find
what you'll be looking for

heard my calling knowing well my time had come
the choices we make are still full of mistakes
now nothing can be done
for which sins committed I deserve this rotten luck
with my heart on my sleeve I was summoned to leave
with no hope of coming back

how long

I'm viewing life as a playground to play on
everybody wants to give advice
using the bottle as an icon to pray on
is my religion without compromise

I've seen it all through the eyes of a blind man
his destination led me back where I was
she loved me then she loves me now
got to be going

she said her peace at the break of December
I know I lost her and she'll never return
it's such a blur that it's hard to remember
man I had it coming I just didn't know when

going to see her was to find consolation
hoping the final bridge we had hadn't burned
I rang the door bell - nobody answered
I tried the lock but my key wouldn't turn

take me down to the river's edge
don't let me fall in
let me into your circle of life
while I'm waiting for mine to begin

but the river runs wide and so deep
I can see myself drown
I'm awake but my conscience is asleep
as the wind drags me down

my mind's eye would always be blind
heading down for the cliffs
I would not feel the need to be saved from the flight
hour of truth reality sinks in hello
I've been bound behind a closed door
never have been denied
now I'm sentenced to life never knowing what for
then the words I never thought I'd hear
now all I want to know is
what the hell just happened here

here I stand at the river's edge
dripping wet from the fall
the tide is high and the ferry's delayed
to take me back home

but the river still runs to the sea
drifting my wishes away
tomorrow is pain
and in time you will hear my say

sweet dream don't let me rise awake not yet
young boy's fairy tale come to life come alive
sweet dream think I've found someone else in me
before I awake I'm free


it's ten to ten darling wake up
I had a dream about someone who drove me mad
hoping you wouldn't mind
you have your share of my life
do you care what I do
while I'm asleep next to you
can't help it if I do

sweet dream how could you let me rise awake
then slip away big mistake of mine
sweet dream I've been confined to nights alone without you
that's why I've been so blue

it's ten to ten darling wake up
I had a dream and it may never come again
hoping you wouldn't mind
you have your share of my life
do you care what I do
while I'm asleep next to you
can't help it if I do

it's ten to ten won't you wake up
I had a dream and it may drive you up a wall
do you care what I do
while I'm asleep next to you
or do you dream of someone else
then lie while we are face to face
then leave me if you do

what would your love be like?
what would your love feel like?
what would your love see in me?
