The Wide Eyed Child In Me

(album: Hope And Despair - 1989)

Just give me two good reasons
Why you find me so displeasing
And I'll gladly go the way I came
But there's no method in you're madness
Only unforgiving sadness
And to leave right now just seems insane

I guess it's just the pace of life
That's tearing us apart
Running rings around our hearts
Before we've even started
And yet the wide eyed child in me
Stills controls my destiny
Stills believes our dreams will be fulfilled

And if I'm too demanding
It's just lack of understanding
'Cause I know sometimes it's hard for you to cope
But I've given you a rainbow
Vaguely wishing that our love could grow
Now I've nothing left to offer you but hope

I guess it's just the pace of life
That's tearing us apart
Running rings around our hearts
Before we've even started
And yet the wide eyed child in me
Stills controls my destiny
Stills believes our dreams will be fulfilled
