Be  careful what you dream of it may  come up and surprise you
 I can't  confess my life's a mess I've  come to idolise you
 You liken  it to walking  on hot coals  I'll keep  my boots  on
Wisen  up and fly straight there's a shape  on the ho-ri  -zon
 D(R1) x 4
 In a hollow  horse I'll steal my way in-side  your guarded heart
 So selfishly  the needs I harbour  when we are apart
 My path  strung out be-hind  me contra-diction  and dis-aster
I'm  in search of charity a union  I could mas  -ter
We'll  be as we are  when all  the fools who doubt us fade a-way
Fortune  deep and wide  in-timidated  restless in the wait  the wait
Things  I chose to value I no  longer have a use for
 I ridicule  myself for all the  things those symbols stood for
 When vanity  has played  a part in every leader's downfall
Wait  to storm the gates what's left undone  to hang a-round for
We'll  be as we are  when all  the fools who doubt us fade a-way
Fortune  deep and wide  in-timidated  restless in the wait  the wait
