Great Expectations

Great expectations i have to find

I want to tell you what it was like

My recollection is not too clear

So much hope and so much fear.



Long conversations into the night

Not like that, oh no, not so black and white

The great temptation's to try and please you

Play with you thought and mind and tease you

If i could tell my story in a song

I'd have to make it fast, yes it's very long

Many shades of grey between the right and wrong.



Day for night, night for day

All the stories on this way,

Feel the fire burn away.



So turn the lights down low, come over here

Stay with me, don't go, you'll see my characters appear

The storyteller's magic doesn't lie

He'll make you laugh to make you cry

Real for me is real for you

What i say is almost true.



Day for night, night for day

All the stories on its way,

Feel the fire burn and play.



The story's ended now you're on your own

Let's say a little prayer, go home.
