| Just beyond my windowpane, I saw you
|
| Walking in the rain away from me
|
| Visions of your future lay before you
|
| You are free
|
| I saw you in the company of strangers
|
| Laughing just a little bit too loud
|
| Looking at reflections in a mirror
|
| I can see the smiling faces
|
| But not me among the crowd
|
| Wondering how
|
| I wish that I could play this like a love song
|
| So I could shape it like I wanted to
|
| I’d make it purely from the heart
|
| I know that surely from the heart
|
| There only comes the gentlest of tunes
|
| But where are you?
|
| We tried to set the world on fire
|
| And almost did with our desire
|
| Two of us and maybe more
|
| Kids inside a candy store
|
| Sparks of joy and celebration
|
| Suddenly we’re drowned beneath the tears
|
| And baby, you’re the reason that
|
| I haven’t played this song in years
|
| Yes baby, you’re the reason that
|
| I haven’t played this song in years
|
| Some believe in magic potions
|
| Heads all full of crazy notions
|
| Castles built upon a sandy shore
|
| Only magic I believe in
|
| Is the magic I receive from
|
| Loving you and needing nothing more
|
| Nothing more
|
| We never heard each other’s cries
|
| That’s how lovers turn to lies
|
| When I gave, you wanted more
|
| Then suddenly we’re keeping score
|
| I forgave your small deceptions
|
| Till I couldn’t hide my deepest fears
|
| And baby, you’re the reason that
|
| I haven’t played this song in years
|
| Yes baby, you’re the reason that
|
| I haven' t played this song in years |
