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

Wait wait wait wait
I hope I've done it justice!
