Well I sat down next to a photograph, tried my best almost made her laugh
She was my toughest crowd. There in the way was a mountain up in the clouds
Well I cant sleep and Im not in love, and I cant speak without messing up
Eyes tell of whats behind. Hers showed the way to a long and a lonely
climb. But through failure Ill proceed. Shell see how far Ive come
And its you and me in the sun and sea. Ill offer my heart to Yours
It seems to me, no mystery, it isnt so Ill try hard to speak
Well I sat down next to a living hell, tried my best until I struck out
Movement is not mine, I stood in the way, pretending that I was the vine
But no failure would proceed, from a mouth that drinks its wine
And its not me, not my sanctity, these arent my words to you
Its all clear when its not here, so clear, so Ill try not to speak
