Staring At The Sun

(album: Underground - 2002)

Walking down your street last night
Where you and I began
I looked up to the room where my loving said
I want to be your man
It ended in an empty room
Where no love could be found
I won't make that mistake again
This time around

Nobody can speak of freedom
Whatever battles they have won
Or see into the future when they're
Staring at the sun

Ritual and magic
In the cradle of the night
Tender and barbaric
We went drifting spinning to the light
Sing me songs of true romance
And how to take that higher ground
And maybe we'll have half a chance
This time around

Loaded for that last caress
When I dressed your body down
Your mind was in some other country
You'd already gone
I stood there like some helpless child
Hoping to be found
I won't make that mistake again
This time around
