Reaching over Life to life Feeling sugared skin My poor baby Kissed him so To ashamed to lift his chin A voice is speaking He's the prophet Blinded by the light A heart is breaking I can hear it Dropped when gone beyond my sight Hey there, Mr. Talk too much What's in store for us now? I don't know how to speak to you I don't know how to trust you I don't kow how to live for you I don't know how to love you The gentleman who fell before the court I feel your closeness Like a shotgun A chill within my soul I touch your finger Know your darkness Your passion takes its' toll Can't see that this talk is cheap Let the suffering go
